Knee Slapper

I was sent a joke that cracked me up. I'm going to print it here though I don't usually do that but there is a story behind my posting this joke here and I'll tell you all about it after you read this.

Tap on the Shoulder  

A true story from the pages of the Manchester Evening Times . . .

Last Wednesday a passenger in a taxi heading for Salford station 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 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 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." 

You may have already heard this joke but it struck me so funny because the first guy that I ever went out with, long before I met Teapot,  drove a hearse for his father's funeral home!

LOLOLOLOLOL it just cracked me up.
