“Scuse me Mate?,” said the passenger from the back seat, tapping the taxi driver on the shoulder.
The driver recoiled instantly in fright, lost control of the cab, swerved and nearly hit a bus, jumped the curb and stopped just inches from the plate-glass window of an office.
For a few moments, everything was silent. Then the driver said, “Geeze, you scared the daylights out of me!”
“I’m sorry,” said the passenger. “I didn’t realise a tap on the shoulder would frighten you so much.”
“It isn’t your fault Mate,” the driver replied. “Today is my first day driving a cab. I’ve been driving a hearse for the last 25 years.”
