Memo to San Francisco Taxi Drivers

Gentlemen:

I am much obliged to your fanatical dedication to endangering my life whenever I visit your fair city in your singleminded determination to convey me between the airport and the courthouse. Disneyland wishes it could get this kind of bang for forty bucks.

But please, that pedal on the right? It's not an on-off switch. Don't use it like one. Caress it; squeeze it; tease it -- pick whichever semi-naughty verb you want, but please, please don't just tromp on it over and over. Your special talent makes me long for anti-nausea drugs while traveling in a perfectly straight line.

And be sure to add a cover page to your TPS reports.
