The Unknown Cabbie

BBC interviewed a supposed computer expert for a news programme. As it turned out the "expert" was a cabbie who looked completely horrified when he realised he was confused for someone else. Yet, his replies to the questions thrown at him was absolutely sublime, combining his thoughts on the issue as well as the terror that has to be going on in his mind.
