1921 Carmen Fasanella of Princeton, New Jersey, obtained his cab driver's license at the tender age of seventeen. Mr. Fasanella would go on to drive his taxi for the next 68 years and 243 days, setting an unofficial record for the longest continuous career for a cabbie. The term "cab" comes from "cabriolet," a single-horse carriage used by coach drivers

Imagine a 17-year-old in this day and age getting a job as a cabbie and keeping it for 68 years. Not hardly likely, I'd say.
