A black man on the street in Austin asked me for change the other day. I gave him a pretty bad look, but he continued to urge me that he needed change.

He sounded very pressed and serious. I asked him exactly how much change he wanted. He said a lot. Only a lot of change would suffice.

What the hell, black man on the street yelling for change. Get a job or something.

Apparently, no one gets the humor. It is about Obama. Screwed and chopped rendition of an Onion article.

Some guy asked me for cigarettes today. I told him I didn't have any, so he went to the ashtray on top of the garbage cans and got him some.

That's happened to me before, too. I don't smoke, so I didn't have any. The guy picked up and smoked a filter. There couldn't have been any tobacco left.

Yeah, tell that to his spiritual leader and morale compass who was on his campaign staff.

Good technique, but he should cross the street faster. At that angle of crossing, he is still too close to the black man. Cut directly across the street for maximum separation.

Haha, I loved the article. You should read the whole thing.

:laugh: I had read that quoted on some site before (here?), but didn't link to The Onion and had no picture of Obama. I hadn't connected the dots and was confused. Now I'm just hysterical right now. Hilarious. :D

this is fucking awesome:

"I'll be honest, when that black guy said he would 'stop at nothing' to get change, it kind of scared me," local mechanic Phil Nighbert said. "Just leave me alone."

lmao

I just saw a commercial for this guy (first political commercial I've seen so far this year), and he was talking about change and gas prices. I guess he needed change for gas? Man, those prices are hitting everyone hard.

Actually, he should have followed a parabolic trajectory (or perhaps hyperbolic?), based on desired proximity and the walking speed of both parties.
