The Stick
|
Was eating lunch at a friendly little cafe with some co-workers. One of those places where the owner runs the register, remembers everyone's name, and goes around to chat with the patrons. This one day while he is chatting he asks if anyone at our table is offended by ethinic jokes. I said, "No, not as long as they are about minorities." He and everyone within ear shot cracked up. He tried several times to start telling the joke, then would look at me, and crack up again. He finally apologized and gave up trying to tell the joke..
When the first Star Trek movie came out the very first screening at the local theater was in the afternoon. I was working night shift at the time so some fellow co-workers and myself decided to go see it. There was quite a line and we were near the front. A local news crew came buy and was interviewing the people in line. When they got to me they asked if I was a Trekkie and if I thought the movie was going to be a good one. I replied, "Movie!?...I thought this was the line for the free government cheese." Everyone cracked up and the other people in line let our little group move to the front. A couple of years later one of the co-workers had taken a trip to Colorado and on his drive back a snow storm hit closing the roads and he had to spend the night on a cot in a small town's high school gym. The next morning while he was in a line of cars waiting for the snow plows to clear the highway. A Denver news crew came by and was interviewing those caught in the storm and waiting to resume their travels. When they got to my friend he said, "Get back on the highway!?...I thought this was the line for the free government cheese." The reporter and camera crew cracked up and the camera man was so tickled he slipped and fell. The family he was visiting called him and said he made the Denver TV news.

I love it when people start telling an Asian joke and then after starting it, they turn to me and say, uh... It's funny. I guess it's good they forget I am Asian? They look beyond my ethnicity?
Love this video. Cracks me up every time I watch it. Believe it or not, it's not far from the truth. I have people say that sort of stuff to me all the time. http://youtu.be/DWynJkN5HbQ |

That is pretty funny Tweeze.
I still remember meeting a very dark skinned black man that had a British accent. He was born and raised in London. He was great to hang out with. It was fun to go into any business and the locals would assume he was going to sound ghetto. Another acquaintance was born in South Africa. He was a citizen of South Africa. He was Caucasian. He a became a US citizen. When he filled out any form he put down that he was an African American. That shocked a few folks at job interviews.

People always say that about me. When I talk to them on the phone and then they meet me, they say I sound like I am from California and are surprised. I have had people even comment on it like the guy in the video. "Your English is so good". ?????? And I had a coworker confide in me that the hiring manager actually called him (he was the one that referred me) and asked if I could speak English very well or had a strong accent. Makes me crack up. I probably have better English grammar than the most of them. Ha ha.

Long long ago when we lived in Hawaii I was real good at Pidgin. I could speak like the locals and easily understand them. When we moved from Hawaii to Montgomery Alabama I really struggled trying to understand the thick southern accent.
My first day at school I made a ZERO on a spelling test because the teacher said the word and we were supposed to write it down. I could not understand her. When my parents were called in because the school thought I was learning disabled they could not understand the teacher very well. My mom even told the teacher that it would help if she could speak clearly. The principal repeated the same test for me and I passed.

In high school one of my friends was Polish. His last name was Karolczyk.
Everyone wanted to tell him a Pollack joke. He always laughed at the joke and then replied with have you heard this one? And proceeds to tell a better Pollack joke. We was taking advanced college level Calculus in high school. He graduated second in the entire school. He was a State Senator in Arizona for awhile.

Good thing ain't named the cat yet. Took it to get shots and it's a boy. Lady I got it from said it was female, just never even thought to check for myself. Guess that means it will get even bigger.
