Startled Taxi Driver
Nov 8, 2015 17:26:02 #
Last Wednesday a passenger in a taxi heading for the airport 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 OK? I'm so sorry, but you scared the living 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."

Seems like your recent dealings with Auntie have caused you to think a lot about death. Luckily she sees me in a different light. For Example:

even handsome stalwart brave Sailors have a few dissers
fortunately most of them are jarheads and thus easily ignored
