THE CAB DRIVER

The passenger sat in the backseat, clutching the door
handle and wondering if she could expect to survive
the trip.

The cabdriver sped through the crowded streets, weaving
in and out of traffic. The passenger watched as one
pedestrian after another ran to avoid being run down by
her lunatic driver.

She looked ahead and saw a truck double-parked on the
narrow street, but not only did the taxi driver fail
to slow down, he actually accelerated as he approached
the truck.

He slipped his cab through the available space with an
inch or two to spare on either side. "Driver!" the
passenger screamed,"Are you trying to get us both killed?"

"Relax,lady," he said, "just do what I do. Close your
eyes."
