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 up on the footpath, and stopped centimetres from a shop window. There was a minute or so of silence before the cab driver piped up and said " Listen mate don't you ever do that again your scared the living daylights out of me" . The passenger apologised and said " I'm so sorry but I didn't expect that a little tap would spook you so much " . The taxi driver then apologised back " Look mate its not your fault , this is my first day as a taxi driver , I've been driving a hearse for a Funeral Business for the last 25 years. "
