| A true story from the Manchester Evening News :
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
glass window. For a few moments, everything was silent in the cab. Then, the shaking driver said,
"Are you okay? I'm 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."
