A passenger in a Gullivers 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 every thing 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.
The driver replied, "I'm sorry, it's really not your fault
at all, today is my first day driving a cab - I have been driving
a hearse for the last 25 years."
