I saw two guys having a private discussion. I've seen these guys before. They have been involved with the Little League for at least 7 years. And I was pretty sure they both have lived in this town for their entire lives. Surely they know something.
me: “So, what's deal with the White C****e club.” Mr. Defensive: “What do you mean?” me: “I just wanna know more about them. No one seems to know very much.” Mr. Defensive: “They're a great sponsor. That's all you need to know. They've been sponsoring local sports programs for like 50 years.” me: “Great. So their money is green. What color is their membership?” me (in my head): “Nice and subtle. Good job.” Mr. Scary: “You wanna know if they're a white supremacy group?” me (in my head): “Wow...I wasn't ready to get to the point that quickly.” me: “uh...yeah.” Mr. Defensive: “Look. It isn't like they are going around lynching people. They may have started that way, but that's not what they are about.” me: “OK. I called the borough office and asked about them.” they both laughed briefly Mr. Scary: “What did they say?” me: “Hardly anything. Just that they're a men's club. And that they haven't caused any trouble.” Mr. Defensive: “See? They are just a men's club.” me: “Yes. But I...” Mr. Scary: “Look. Let me give you some advice.” me (in my head): “Oh great. I love unsolicited advice.” Mr. Scary: “If you are ever invited to the White C****e Club, they'll offer you two ashtrays, a white one and a black one. Take the white ashtray.” me (in my head): “Cool. I'll just asked one of my racist friends for an invite.” me: “...But I don't smoke.” Mr. Defensive: “Just take the white ashtray.” me (in my head): “Don't say anything. Don't say anything.” me: “We couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather today.”
"Yeah, the weather is nice, but those darky...er...dark clouds over there look like trouble."

ReplyDeleteBigotry is ok, as long as you aren't "going around lynching people."
Fuckin' Italian. Go eat some spaghetti.
