A British passenger in a taxi in Dublin leaned over to ask the driver a question and tapped him on the shoulder. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb and stopped just inches from the edge of the bridge over the Liffey River.
For a few moments everything was silent in the cab and then the still-shaking driver said, "I'm sorry, but you scared the devil out of me."
The frightened Brit apologised to the driver and said he didn't realise a mere tap on the shoulder could frighten an Irishman so much.
The driver replied, "Will the saints in Heaven forgive me -- it's entirely my fault.
Today is my first day driving a cab as I’ve been driving a hearse for the last 25 years." |
