Overheard


listening to two former high-school friends discuss their divergent paths through life
A: How do you get to work now?
B: Oh, I take the bus most days. I bike in the summer when it's nice.
A: Like the "bus" bus?
B: Yeah, why?
A: I guess I just assumed that only poor people rode the bus.
B: Whoa. Racist.
A: What?
B: You just said you thought that only black people rode the bus.
A: No, I didn't. I said "poor people", not "black people".
B: Really?
A: Yeah, definitely.
B: ...
A: Sooo. I guess you're the racist one, huh?
B: Well, I think we both have things we should probably work on with regards to other races.
A: Ehhhh. Do we?
