The Taxi Ride.

A tourist is picked up by a cabbie in New York on a dark night.
The passenger taps the driver on the shoulder to ask him something.

The driver screams, loses control of the car, nearly hits a bus, drives up on
the sidewalk, and stops inches from a shop window.

For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver said, “Look
friend, don’t EVER do that again. You scared the daylights out of me!”

The passenger apologizes and says he didn’t realize that a “little tap” could
scare him so much.
The driver, after gathering himself together replied, “Sorry, it’s not really
your fault.

Today is my first day as a cab driver – I’ve been driving hearses for the last
25 years!
