That's funny.

My daughter is 14 and tells me that my fiance looks Mexican.

When I tell my fiancee that she looks Mexican she says "So Mexican's look like Filipino's there?" I just say yes and laugh...

I was working overseas for a logistics contractor on defense project somewhere out in the Pacific in a place few people have heard of. About a third of the folks working there were Hawaiian, and pretty much kept to themselves. One of the guys that I worked with found out I was from California and took me under his wing. He invited to one of the quarters for beer and pupu, and to meet his friends. One big guy kept shooting me looks, and finally pointed at me and started talking.

"Hey, I went to visit the mainland one time, and when we went into a coffee shop, they wouldn't serve us. How come?"

"Where was this?" I asked.

"Texas."

"That is your problem right there. They probably thought you were Mexican."

"They don't like Mexicans in Texas?"

"Nope. You should have told them you were from Hawaii. Most people like Hawaiians, especially in California."

"Okay."

Then he offered me another beer, and I was set with them from that point forward. They knew where all the cool parties were happening.

when I was in my OBC course I made friendswith a Latino guy from Texas. great guy . SF Combat diver etc. Being from GA (at that time in the early 80'swe had no Hispanics)

I had no idea anyone might be prejudiced against Latinos. Went to a party and the guy manning the keg was a white boy from Texas. he looked a my buddy and said --No beer for you beaner or something like that. I was shocked.. I was thinking what did my buddy do. Come to find out he was guilty of being Latino.

I learned two things that night

1. Racism is learned

2. It takes the MP's a long time to arrive on station when all hell breaks lose. LOL

Almost every time he flew up to see me my husband would get pulled into secondary at the Vancouver airport . I have a feeling it was because he was Hispanic. They don't see many of those up there.

I'll have to remember that. I didn't know you could have a thread closed because you didn't like the way the conversation was going, on the grounds that you started the thread.

Good to know.

[Marilyn. 340]

there was this one poster back in the day who would do that all the time. a thread she started wouldn't be going the way she wanted so she would have it closed.

I guess it's like playing checkers with a 5 year old. When the five year old starts losing, he just picks up the board and the checkers and flings them across the room. Game over.

The patriot (not sure if i'm allowed to call him Bill yet) did that once after one of his threads got hijacked.

So much of the fun here is the OT comments IMO. Its like when they laugh on a SNL skit. And a little humor helps when people are starting to get pissed.

For me, it depends how it is getting hijacked. If it turns into another hatefest, I will asked for it to be closed. If it just meanders down a path, I am okay with that. I reached the age where I fully understand the wisdom of Yogi Berra who said, "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."

Of course, I am not beyond being petty, but I try to avoid it.

Quite reasonable I think

Yup, it's fun being an OP, you gets an extra 'thing' for yer topic.

[Darnell 8,478]

ok - one from me.

At my fav curry shop in Liverpool, run by an 'Asian' - I asked her where she was from. She told me, 'I'm from Persia'. I asked her - oh ! you got out of Iraq before the Shaw was deposed? Good for You !!! '

She told me - no no - I'm a Kurd, we hoofed it across the border about 8 years ago. I miss my goats, but we bought into a goat farm here about 3 years ago, so I can still make yogurt and yogurt cheese.

I wonder is she has any sheep? Although goats have horns so they're easier to hold onto so they don't run away.

I have something to offend everyone

I came out of the shop with a meat and potato pie, large chips, mushy peas & a jumbo sausage. A poor homeless man sat there and said 'I've not eaten for two days.' I told him 'I wish I had your will power.'

I took my Biology exam last Friday. I was asked to name two things commonly found in cells. Apparently "Blacks" and "Romanian gipsies" were not the correct answers.

A fat girl served me in McDonald's at lunch time. She said 'sorry about the wait.' I said 'don't worry dear, you're bound to lose it eventually. '

Snow in the forecast! The TV weather girl said she was expecting 8 inches tonight. I thought to myself, fat chance with a face like that!

An Irish boy stands crying at the side of the road. A man asks "What's wrong?" The boy says "Me ma is dead." "Oh bejaysus" the man says "Do you want me to call Father O' Riley for you"? The boy replies "No tanks mister, sex is the last ting on my mind at the moment."

Years ago it was suggested that an apple a day kept the doctor away. But since all the doctors are now Muslim, I've found that a bacon sandwich works best!

Japanese scientists have now created a camera with such an immense shutter speed that it is now possible to take a photograph of a woman with her mouth closed.
