Another one from my retirement magazine -

A passenger in a taxi tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him something. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus. drove up over the curb and stopped just inches short of a large plate-glass shop window. For a few moments, everything was silent in the cab, and then the driver said "Please don't ever do that again - you scared the living daylights out of me!". The passenger, who was also frightened, apologised and said that he didn't realise that a tap on the shoulder could frighten him so much. The driver replied "I'm sorry, it's really not your fault at all. Today is my first day driving a cab. For the last 25 years, I've been driving a hearse".
