New York City Cabby Offers Compelling Excuse for Running over a Bicyclist

     What do you do when a bicyclist pounds on your taxi and yells at you?  If you're Mohammed Faysal Himon, you put the pedal to the metal and run over her, chopping off her leg in the process.  After all, it was New York City, and Himon was a cab driver.  The district attorney is investigating the incident, and city authorities are reportedly "taking steps to suspend Himon's licence."  Note the word suspend rather than revoke.
     Himon offered the excuse that driving a New York City cab is too stressful.  "I need a more suitable job," he said.
     If he's really looking for a job more suitable for his talents, we suggest that he apply for a job as an interviewer on a Fox television talk show.  Bill O'Reilly gets paid $20 million a year for running people down with far less finesse than Mohammed Faysal Himon displayed.
  If Himon has a minimum of English language ability and can affect a suitable air of haughtiness, he can get rich just by screaming accusing questions at people and then scream louder to keep his victim from answering the questions.  To make it more interesting, he could conduct so-called interviews from behind the steering wheel of a cab.
