In the hands of an expert..

A tourist takes a taxi in a foreign town. The taxi driver speeds through a red light. The tourist, frightened, asks

"What are you doing?"

The driver answers:

"Dont worry, I am an expert."

He speeds through more red lights, and the tourist, on the verge of hysteria, complains again, more urgently. The driver replies

"Relax, relax, you are in the hands of an expert."

Suddenly, the light turns green, the driver slams on the brakes, and the taxi skids to a halt. The tourist picks himself off the floor of the taxi and asks

"For crying out loud, why stop now that the light is finally green?"

The driver answers

"Too dangerous, could be another expert crossing."
