Small town blues
I went home last weekend to visit my family. On the way there, a billboard with a pretty girl on it read:
I need a husband!PXY106 listen for details.
On the bus on the way home, I (and about 50 other passengers) witnessed this very loud exchange between an older black woman (which i totally would not point out if it wasn't relevant) and a white woman with very few teeth (not that there's anything wrong with that):
black woman: are you from gloversville?
white woman: yes
bw: what about fonda?
ww: i said i was from gloversville.
bw: do you know melissa thompson?
ww: i just saw her not too long ago.
bw: she won't let me see my grandson.
ww: um, maybe we're talking about two different melissa thompsons.
bw: i can't go up to fonda and see him myself because the kkk will get me.
ww: *silence*
bw: if i see her i'm gonna kill her.
ww: *silence*
bw: if you see a beautiful little biracial boy named darian thomas grey, he's my grandson.
ww: *silence*
bw: you tell him you saw me!
ww: okay.
I couldn't make this stuff up, people.
