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 the cab, and then the
still
shaking driver said, 'I'm sorry, but you scared the Hell 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.'
