A man hails a taxi and gets into a yellow cab.
“To the airport please,” he says.
The trip is going fine until the passenger taps the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question.
Frightened, the driver screams, loses control of the car, nearly hits a bus, drives up on a footpath and stops centimetres away from a shop window.
Everything goes quiet for a minute before the passenger breaks the silence.
“I’m so sorry,” he says. “I didn’t realise a tiny tap like that would scare you so much.”
The driver shakes his head.
“It’s not your fault,” he says. “Today is my first day as a taxi driver. I’ve been driving a funeral van for the past 35 years.”
