Last Wednesday a passenger in a taxi heading for Salford station leaned over to ask the driver a question and gently tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention.
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."

When I was a kid, I worked for a gas station that did car washes. We would wash the hearse and limo for the funeral home next door. One day, one of our guys crawled into the back of the hearse to vacuum it out. Another guy was washing it and didn't notice. When the guy inside looked out the back window, the one washing it dropped the hose and ran out of the building and across four lanes of traffic before he stopped.
