Is this racism in America today?
« on: August 12, 2013, 09:48:55 AM »
Everyone seems to be in such a hurry to scream 'racism' these days.  A customer asked, "In what aisle could I find the Polish sausage?"

The clerk asks, "Are you Polish?"

The guy, clearly offended, says, "Yes I am. But let me ask you something.  "If I had asked for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian?  Or if I had asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German?  Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog would you ask me if I was Jewish?  Or if I had asked for a Taco, would you ask if I was Mexican?  Or if I asked for some Irish whiskey, would you ask if I was Irish?"

The clerk says, "No, I probably wouldn't."

The guy says, "Because I asked for Polish sausage, why did you ask me if I'm Polish?"

"The clerk replied, "Because you're in Home Depot."

as someone who owns 'ski' at the end of their name, I represent that remark.

Funny!

Yes they do.

Home Depot had free hot dogs, chips and a bottle of water for customer appreciation today in Owosso, MI.

Guess where I took my wife out to dinner?
