A guy flies into town and flags down a cab late one night to take him to his hotel.  

Driving through town, the cabbie comes to a red light, floors the cab and goes right through it.

The startled passenger says: Hey you just went through a red light!

Cabbie: No problem, I go through all the red lights in this town and have never had a problem.

Still in disbelief, the passenger settles down, hoping he'll get to his hotel soon.

Sure enough, the cabbie comes to another red light and floors the car.

The passenger, now completely upset, says: I can't believe you can do this without getting in an accident

Cabbie  Oh, I've been doing this for years with no problem.  In fact, my brother's a cabbie and HE has been doing the same thing for years with no problem.

Coming up to a green light, the passenger thinks "Thank God" and relaxes.  The cabbie proceeds to stand on the brakes, almost throwing the passenger in the front seat.

The passenger says:  You go through all the reds, so why did you stop for the green light?

Cabbie:  Well, you never know when my brother is coming the other way.
