1: The person breaking into my home is a bearded guy in a red and black flannel shirt. Who wears flannel these days but white people? This is from an episode of SNL, a parody commercial featuring mannequin robbers as a home security system.2. At least ninety. Sitting three inches away from the steering wheel and in a large Lincoln. This one's my paternal grandfather, who really IS a bad driver. 3. Three police, of any color. I don't notice that unless someone makes me. Five suspects, pick your color again. I know, the correct answer is white cops and black suspects. Sorry I missed that one. 4. Smooth, hopefully a woman, and I didn't feel any rings because it was just a brush and not a grope. Moist and soft, I'd imagine. How am I supposed to know? It's dark, you say "Sorry!" and keep watching the show. 5. Mid-forties, I suppose. I can't tell age by voice terribly well. Incidentally, this was the age group that I had the most tropuble with in my helpdesk days. 6. A thick Southern accent. This is my high school janitor - who I always think of when I think of a janitor. 7.Where I'm from, the first words out of their mouth would be "Sorry to bother you..." What's prejudicial about this question? 8. He's white, wearing a shirt and tie. Or everyone I've ever interviewed with before has been. 9. Again, it's a white officer. No, that would make him the same as me. His gun's not out. I wasn't going THAT fast. Once more, every time I've been stopped by police, it's been by a white officer. Product of living in the South, I guess. 10. Dressed in a smart business suit, waiting for the light to turn green so she can get the heck out of there. Maybe if I'd seen more hookers in my day, I'd have answered differently. So did I pass? What do I win? |
