Do not disturb...

[Wally]

The driver.

A passenger touches the taxi driver gently on the shoulder.

The driver urinates on himself, loses control of the car, nearly hits a bus, mounts the pavement and stops inches from a shop window.

"WOW, you're easily scared, I just touched you gently on the shoulder."

"Sorry," says the driver, "this is my first day as a taxi driver...

Up until yesterday, I drove a hearse for 20 years."

Re: Do not disturb...

True story: do you remember those little widgets that looked like miniature cone speakers, placed inside a car near the top of the windscreen as part of the anti-theft and anti-break-in electronics? A priest friend of mine was sitting in the front seat of a hearse waiting for the previous funeral cortege to clear away from the entrance to the crematorium. Beside him was the driver; behind him was the coffin. Normal conversation had been exhausted, so long had been their wait; so when he saw - and failed to identify - the little cone-shaped widgets, he asked what they were for. "Oh," said the driver, "they're there to detect movement . . ."

As the mourners came out of the chapel after the previous funeral, they were deeply moved to see both priest and driver sitting in the hearse with tears rolling down their cheeks!
