What an interesting job! I bet you have lots of stories to tell about the fares you've picked up, huh? Gotta say I love the picture on PEC's post, LOL!
Good for you, Noni. In my experience with cab drivers I think it is required to have a barely intelligible foriegn accent, like Ethiopian or Indian. Have you perfected yours?
P.S. If not a gun, at least a can of mace and a taser.
