A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to
ask him a
question. The driver screamed, lost control of the
car, nearly hit
a bus, went upon the footpath, and stopped centimeters
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 apologized and said, "I didn't realize
that a little
tap would scare you 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 a van
carrying dead
bodies for the last 25 years."
