Irascible Italian and The Two IQ Tests

You might think one against eight might penetrate even the feeble~minded.  Picture this: a cab driver drives along a street filled with tourists on foot.  In the noise and distraction the tourists aren't getting out of the cab's way quickly enough to suit its driver.   Instead of tooting the horn and rolling forward smoothly, he guns his engine and then accelerates into the gap he does have.  Not unexpectedly, the tourists are at least startled, if not frightened.  One responded by slapping the fender of the cab as it rushes by.  The truly Italian driver slams on his brakes, jumps out of his cab and charges into the group of eight tourists he just tried to run over, thus failing two consecutive IQ tests.  What possessed him to confront us when he was outnumbered eight-no-one? Cooler heads prevailed and he drove off cursing, but....


P.S. The Irascible Italian passes a real-life IQ test on his third try--Central Florense is a small town.  Two days later, we called for a couple of cabs for early the next morning to take the eight of us somewhere.  Imagine my surprise when the first driver to pull up was the irascible Italian himself.  Faced with the choice of accepting a profitable fare or recalling the tantrum s of several days prior, he wisely chose to.pretend he did not remember it at all. Passed that IQ test.
