A Note on the
Lighter Side:
It was late on a cold, dreary
night in the city. A man standing on the sidewalk
was waiting to hail a cab.
Finally, up the street drove an old Checker cab, he
reached out his hand and the cab
driver pulled over for him to climb in. The man
gave the cab driver the
directions and they pulled away down the road. After a
couple minutes driving down the
road, the man remembered he needed to stop and
pick something up along the way
first before getting home, so he reached up and
tapped the cab driver on the
shoulder to get his attention. The cab driver jumped
up in his seat, screamed, and
nearly lost control of the car. He swerved, narrowly
missing an oncoming truck, steered
back running over some trash cans, scraping the
side of a parked car, and crashed
through the display window of a storefront.
There was nothing but silence in
the cab for a moment and then the man apologized
to the cab driver, "I am sorry, I
had no idea that I would startle you so badly by
tapping you on your shoulder."
The cab driver responded, "No, no
I guess it really wasn't your fault, you see this is my first
day driving a cab........... for the past 25 years, I have been
driving a hearse."
Some trust in chariots
and some in horses,
but we trust in the
name of the Lord our God. - Psalm 20:7
