Taxi driver: When I was doing a graveyard shift last night, a beautiful woman asked me for a ride as I drove along Balete Drive. When I turned around after having picked her up, her face became bloody and bruised, so I stopped the taxi and ran off.

Friend: So you must have seen the white lady last night then!
