Speaking of Nobel Prizes....I once was behind a white guy and his wife in one of them Mercedes SL convertibles, RED! You know the model number I mean...the ones that cost like a hundred K new....
Anyway, these two were stopped at a light. She had her tennis outfit and sun visor on as did he. They were loving it....loving it...experiencing the Mercedes of it all.
I was behind them in my truck higher up and could see them well. Very soon thereafter across the intersection pulled up ANOTHER RED MERCEDES SL expensive and stopped at the light.
It really wasn’t a long light, but what happened next was the funniest thing I’d ever seen. In this other SL were a couple of black chicks, svelte, groovy and getting down! Music loud as hell, hair as orange and red as you could get and they were boogeying down!...slapping hands, gesticulating and party-down!
I saw immediately - sun visor gal didn’t - neither did hubby. They were basking in the unobtainable, enviable aloofness that was that expensive Red Mercedes SL convertible. The sacrifice they’d made to buy it was surely worth it.
Then, she turned her head and SAW! Saw the two chicks...saw all of it. At that moment, I braced myself, prepared for what was to come. After spying the two chicks, her head turned immediately left with a look that could freeze the ocean. “You stupid m’effer!” it blared. The look of disgust in presence of the now terminal driver complete.
Meanwhile, me behind them was laughing so hard, I stalled my truck....funny, funny,.....I didn’t even care about the honks behind me....
So. Why all this in response to a button about the Nobel Prize? I dunno. Could be that one man’s prize is another man’s trinket.
