, i did BLACK ROBBERS (A True Story)
This would have to be one of the best emails I’ve ever read…..
For anyone who didn’t see the episode of David Letterman’s show where this
story was told, read this: (And remember it’s a true story…)
On a recent weekend in Atlantic City, a woman won a bucketful of quarters at a slot machine.
She took a break from the slots for dinner with her husband in the hoteldining room.
But first she wanted to stash the quarters in her room.
‘I’ll be right back and we’ll go to eat’ she told her husband and carriedthe coin-laden bucket to the elevator.
As she was about to walk into the elevator she noticed two men already aboard.
Both were black. One of them was very tall and had an intimidating figure.
The woman froze. Her first thought was: ‘These two are going to rob me.’
Her next thought was: ‘Don’t be a bigot, they look like perfectly nice gentlemen.’ But racial stereotypes are powerful, and fear immobilized her.
Avoiding eye contact, she turned around stiffly and faced the elevator doors as they closed.
A second passed, and then another second, and then another.
Her fear increased! The elevator didn’t move.
Panic consumed her.’My God’ she thought, I’m trapped and about to be robbed!
Her heart plummeted. Perspiration poured from every pore.Then one of the men said, ‘Hit the floor.’
Instinct told her to do what they told her.
The bucket of quarters flew upwards as she threw out her arms and collapsed on the elevator floor. A shower of coins rained down on her.
‘Take my money and spare me’, she prayed.
More seconds passed.
She heard one of the men say politely, ‘Ma’am, if you’ll just tell us what floor you’re going to, we’ll push the button.’
The one who said it had a little trouble getting the words out. He was trying mightily to hold in a belly laugh.
The woman lifted her head and looked up at the two men. They reached down to help her up.
Confused, she struggled to her feet. ‘When I told my friend here to hit the floor,’ said the average sized one, I meant that he
should hit the elevator button for our floor. I didn’t mean for you to hit the floor, ma’am.’
He spoke genially.
He bit his lip.
It was obvious he was having a hard time not laughing.
The woman thought: ‘My God, what a spectacle I’ve made of myself.’
She was too humiliated to speak.
The three of them gathered up the strewn quarters and refilled her bucket.
When the elevator arrived at her floor they then insisted on walking her to her room..
She seemed a little unsteady on her feet, and they were afraid she might not make it down the corridor.
At her door they bid her a good evening.
As she slipped into her room she could hear them roaring with laughter as they walked back to the elevator.
The woman brushed herself off. She pulled herself together and went downstairs for dinner with her husband.
The next morning flowers were delivered to her room; a dozen roses.
Attached to EACH rose was a crisp one hundred-dollar bill.
The card said: ‘Thanks for the best laugh we’ve had in years.’
It was signed: Eddie Murphy & Michael Jordan.
lol that’s hilarious
I know it’s just a joke but, how could she not tell it was M.J. and Eddie? They’ve been on t.v. and if she was a slot player I am sure she was a large woman who was going to dinner with her husband at the Buffet room; who had to have watched more than enough t.v. to know who they were. Then again that might be me just stereo-typing =P
so now, according to rayz, all slot playing women are fat(large), and since she is fat(large) she must eat at buffets and not nice restaurants, and since she is fat(large) she is lazy and all she does is watch TV, and therefore must know EVERYONE who is on TV.
thats good to know =D
