A passenger in a taxi 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 a large plate glass window.
For a few moments everything was silent in the cab, and then the still shaking driver said, ‘I’m sorry, but you scared the daylights out of me.’
The frightened passenger apologized to the driver and said he didn’t realize a mere tap on the shoulder could frighten him so much.
The driver replied, ‘No, no, I’m sorry, it’s entirely my fault. Today is my first day driving a cab……………….
I’ve been driving a hearse for the last 25 years.’

An oldie. It has the mark of Frank on it.
Phew! I just saw a 1973 vintage film The Taxi Driver on DVD yesterday!
Goodness, that is an oldie. Dit it stand the test of time?
Oh yes. I enjoyed seeing it after all these years. I had not even known about its existence till just a few days ago.
Hah! DEADly hilarious!!
Ha Ha!
Hysterical . . . and perfect for the macabre month of Halloween.
Now what have I started, Nancy? Not sure I can hold the theme for a month.
Maybe you can share the spooky theme on your Thursday specials? Four more jokes featuring ghosts, ghouls, goblins, skeletons, witches, or things that go bump in the night.
😆 The only thing going bump in the night round here…. is me!
Ha ha. That would scare the life out of anyone.
It certainly would!
And then there’s the mortician who has stopped at home for lunch on the way back to work after a “pick up.”
I have a neighbour who does that!
The one I was referring to is one of Karen’s 8 younger brothers. I don’t know how often he does as we don’t live near them. 😉
😆 Jack had a cousin over in Durham, England who fell in the street one day. The local undertaker, returning from a funeral, stopped the empty hearse and offered to take home. Jack laughed long and loud when he heard about it.
