I went shopping one day at a Montgomery Wards store but didn't know where the product I wanted was located. I inquired where it might be at a cash register that had a black girl attending customers. She didn't know where the product was and pointed left to another register and said, "Go axe that guy". As fate would have it, I passed a display of hatchets on the way, and when I arrived at the other kiosk wielding a tool above my head I remarked, (as I pointed back to "Shaniqua" at the other counter), "she told me to do this!" Yes, times have changed... I'd be in the back of a squad car today for the same humor.
Coming up with that one must have hurt.
ReplyDeleteYou could say it's a classic hew-dunnit.
ReplyDeleteShe only axed to go to the corner store and her parents said no.
ReplyDeleteAdze a horrible pun, you know.
