A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to
ask him a question. The driver screamed, lost control
of the cab, nearly hit a bus, went up on the sidewalk,
and stopped inches from a shop window. For a second
everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver said,
“Look mate, don’t ever do that again. You scared the
daylights out of me!” The passenger apologised and said
he didn’t realize that a little tap could scare him so
much. The driver replied, “Sorry, it’s not really your
fault. Today is my first day as a cab driver - I’ve
been driving hearses for the last 25 years!”
