The Jittery Jitney

The passenger tapped the driver of the taxi on his shoulder to ask him a question.

Suddenly, the driver screamed, lost control of the vehicle, nearly hit a bus, went up on the sidewalk, and stopped mere inches from a store window.

For a second, everything was quiet in the cab. “Don’t ever do that again! You scared the daylights out of me!” scolded the driver.

The passenger apologized and said, “I didn’t realize that a little tap would scare you so much.”

“Sorry, it’s not your fault,” conceded the driver. “Today is my first day as a cab driver. Previously I had been driving a hearse for the past 25 years.”
