What?!?!

Husband and I had to put our copious "treasures" into storage so that
the floors in our living room and dining room could be sanded and
finished. This required packing over the weekend and every night this
week. It took three movers two hours to load the truck.

One of the movers was a beefy white guy with a lot of tattoos, a
shaved head, goatee, and Southern accent. He told us about his dog,
which is some mix breed that is the state dog of Louisiana. "The dogs
are very good at hunting black boys," he mentioned.

I stood still, rooted to the spot, so horrified I was speechless.
Husband nodded. "Really? They hunt black bears?"

It seems that I slightly misunderstood the gentleman's accent. Whew!

  2. which was not the case when my friend had her car towed from Oakland, which the (arabian) tow truck driver affectionately referred to as "Monkeytown".
