A passenger in a taxi leaned over to ask the driver a question and
tapped him on the shoulder. The driver screamed, lost control of
the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb, and stopped just
inches from a large plate glass window.
For a few moments, everything was silent in th e cab, and then the
still shaking driver said, "I'm sorry, but you scared the daylights
out of me."
The frightened passenger apologized to the driver and said he
didn't realize a mere tap on the shoulder could frighten him so much.
The driver replied, "No, no, I'm sorry, it's entirely my
fault. Today is my first day driving a cab. I've been driving a
hearse for the last 25 years."
