Not loudly? That's a pity.
We had a woman running for a bench in Juvenile court in the offices yesterday. As a CASA who has spent much time in the courtroom of her opponent (a jar-head haircut butch black woman for whom the average wait is 45 minutes to an hour and a half and who BERATES people on issues dear to her heart but having NOTHING to do with the case), I was interested in some of the chit chat after the prepared comments. One of our attorneys -- an extremely mild-mannered, perfectly polite and always excruciatingly prepared young man -- commented that he'd been raked over the coals by the judge in question and couldn't for the life of him understand why.
"You are a white male," I said.
Folks were shocked ... particularly some of our more PC women attorneys. It was delicious.
Another moment that comes to mind is once upon a time at the Barnes and Noble on the Plaza in KC where there is a railed open atrium alongside one edge of which the escalators run. My sister on the first floor spotted me on the third and gave me an exasperated "Can we Puleeeeeze Leave now?" look.
I leaned over the rail and called to her ... "JUST A SECOND ... I CAN'T FIND THE HETEROSEXUAL SECTION!!" You could have heard a pin drop. =)
Wish I was there! I get in trouble for saying stuff like that all the time!
The Barnes and Noble story was great. Now, I'm not quick enough to come up with something like that. Wish I coulda heard it though. Did the latte drinking customers spit the latte all over themselves in indignation?
