[Jokes] Taxi . . . (fwd)

---------- Forwarded message ----------

A passenger flagged down a  taxi, climbed in and gave the   
driver an address. A couple  minutes after they got on their   
way the 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 sidewalk, and stopped   
inches from a shop window.    

For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the    
driver said, "For Christ's sake don't ever do that again.    
You scared the daylights out of me!"   

The passenger  apologized and said he didn't realize that a   
little tap could  scare him so much.   

The driver replied, "Sorry, it's not  really your fault. You   
see, today is my first day as a cab  driver, for the last 15   
years I was driving a  hearse!"
