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 window.

For a few moments, everything was silent in the cab. Then the shaking
Driver said "Are you OK? I'm so sorry, but you scared the daylights
Out of me."

The badly shaken passenger apologized to the driver and said, "I
Didn't realize that a mere tap on the shoulder would startle someone
So badly."

The driver replied, "No, no, I'm the one who is sorry, it's entirely
My fault. Today is my very first day driving a cab. I've been driving
A hearse for 25 years."



It's been doing the rounds for years Peter, still funny though laugh2
