Worry not, young Coltrane. I have already PMed Spanky. This situation will be addressed promptly and at unfathomable length.

I was the white dude at the Car Wash in High School. I sat around with my boys making fun of whitey -- until I discovered that was me.

But wait a minute, it's OK for a white guy to call Spanky a honkey, isn't it?

No, but his moniker is now "Sponky."

Acceptable descriptions are limited to "that way", "a bit funny", "on the bus", "batting for our team", "a friend of Dorothy", or "wearing comfortable shoes."

Most of my jobs in high school were in doctor's offices filing and light receptionist work. When I got to college, I moved up to being a nurses' aid, except the one summer I went door to door on behalf of the Sierra Club.

You are black? I did not know that. I am "flesh-tone" (thanks Crayola!) But when I applied for a sales position at Daytons for the exact same reasons you did I was denied, and I did not geet a different position either. Hmmmmmm. Also, Macy's has a kitchen? I did not know that either! This is a day of learning for me.

Why did Dayton's not want me? Must be the face tat.

Oh, that. I just thought you were making fun of his love of alliterative posts.

Are you sure you're not hispanic?

Although I doubt he got to wear the polyester checked dress, so maybe he's not really a member of the club at all.
I worked at Howard Johnson's for much more than an hour, but never wore a polyester checked dress there, either.
