Dreadlocks are an Afro in chains.
Or is that racist?
I would never try this joke today:
On 7/4/1980, I was invited to my NCOIC's quarters for a BBQ. I was the only white guy in a 7 man supply section (I was the S-4 for my battalion).
His wife cooked the best soul food I have ever eaten. She was surprised that I asked for seconds on chitlins. After complimenting her, I said, "Ma'am, I just can't explain it, but for some reason I feel like dancing."
While her jaw dropped to the floor, the men I worked with busted out laughing. That's the way we rolled back then.
Nope, wouldn't even consider it today.
