    Default Racism

    Everyone seems to be in such a hurry to scream 'racism' these days...

    A customer asked, "In what aisle could I find the Guinness?"

    The shop assistant asks, "Are you Irish?"

    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 Polish sausage, would you ask if I was Polish?"

    The shop assistant says, "No, I probably wouldn't."

    The guy says, "Well then, because I asked for Guinness, why did you ask me if I'm Irish?"

    The clerk replied: "Because you're in Bunning’s....“

    Hmmm. A few years ago I went to a Japanese hardware store, sort of a local equivalent of the big green shed. At the entrance they had a beer dispensing machine.
    There are lots of things we could learn from the Japanese.

    I was on the Big Island of Hawaii. SWMBO insisted on stopping at this tourist trap for souvenirs. It was probably about 11 AM. There was a Japanese gentleman, probably about 20 years younger than I. With him he had an infant in a car seat and a toddler was running amuck as toddlers normally do.

    He was really struggling to feed the infant and control the toddler. I bought two cans of beer and walked over toward him. At about 3 M distant, I did a courtesy bow. He, in a total panic stood up and reciprocated. I sat down next to him and gave him one of the beers. He spoke no English and I speak no Japanese. For 15 or 20 minutes while sipping our beers we had the most delightful conversation. Then his wife showed up. She really started giving him a tongue lashing. He explained and then in English got into me for giving him a beer. About this time my wife showed up with her purchases and I said to the Japanese woman that he was distraught trying to manage both children and needed a beer to relax. My wife then said, "Come on we have to go." And later in the car I got an ear full about drinking beer before noon.

    My brother would never drink before noon.
    His favourite answer, if offered a beer was, "It must be afternoon, somewhere in the world!!!!"
