A PASSENGER IN A TAXI TAPPED THE DRIVER
ON THE SHOULDER TO ASK HIM SOMETHING.


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 DRIVER SAID,
"PLEASE, DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN. YOU SCARED THE
DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME".

THE PASSENGER, WHO WAS ALSO FRIGHTENED,
APOLOGIZED AND SAID HE DIDN'T
REALIZE THAT A TAP ON THE SHOULDER COULD FRIGHTEN
HIM SO MUCH, TO WHICH THE
DRIVER REPLIED, "I'M VERY SORRY, IT'S REALLY NOT
YOUR FAULT AT ALL.
TODAY IS MY FIRST DAY DRIVING A CAB. I'VE BEEN DRIVING
A HEARSE FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS."
