A passenger in a taxi leaned over to ask the driver a question and
gently tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. 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. Then, the
shaking driver said "Are you OK? I'm so sorry, but you scared the
daylights out of me..."
The badly shaken passenger apologized to the driver and said "I didn't
realize that a mere tap on the shoulder would startle someone so
badly."
The driver replied, "No, no, I'm the one who is sorry . . . it's
entirely my fault. Today is my very first day driving a cab. I've been
driving a hearse for 25 years.
