I Get Called A Racial Epithet (not what you think)

[The Rabbi]

First customer of the day.

Twenty something Black guy with gold teeth, NY Yankees cap with the price tag or whatever it is still on the bill, baggies--you get the idea. Comes in to buy some ammo.

So he's looking around and really grooving on the selection in the shop. Nice fellow. He gets so excited he has to call one of his friends and tell him about it (word of mouth is your best advertising).

So he's going on about the place:

"Man, he's got .223, he's got really nice pieces, great prices. Man, this n1gger's got everything here!"

I chuckle and immediately he realizes what he's said. He apologized profusely and explained that's how they talk in his community.

I wasn't offended at all.

But it may just be the first time a middle aged white Orthodox Jew has been called a ******.

what did he end up buying?

[The Rabbi]

what did he end up buying?

Well, he asked for 9mm personal protection ammo. He told me about buying a .357mag at the gun show and when I asked he brought it in to show me, a Taurus 7shot 4" blued model.

He took the ammo and came back a few minutes later to complain it didnt fit. He had tried to jam the 9mm rounds into the cylinder. I had no idea he was buying ammo for that gun.

So we swapped out for some .38+Ps for the same price.

He was respectful and nice. But a genius he wasn't.

[Mike.357]

you mean 9momo does not fit a 357 but 38's do?

[The Rabbi]

Yeah, even though they are the same bullet. Kinda. Sorta.

[saintsfanbrian]

You should have run the TICS check on him for buying the ammo.

That is funny though.

[Mike.357]

so he must have been in the car trying to load up.

It's probably a good thing he must have been a permit holder.

See now I figured out why you are not successful in the gun business. You missed the perfect oppurtunity to sell him a 9mm pistol.

You must have had something that could be converted to a fully with an esstended clip in the backroom.

[The Rabbi]

Maybe he has a permit.

Maybe he was just checking the ammo to see whether it would chamber.

Maybe I did try to sell him one but he blew all his money on the over-priced fare at the gun show.

When are you changing your avatar to George Carlin, btw? Whoever it is now gives me the willies.

[Mike.357]

Maybe

I figured as much, I was just testing you.

BTW, that was Chad Johnson. I am sure I will get back to him before football season is over.

Anyway thanks for your post about the willies. I really did bust a laugh out when I read it.

As for George, my oldtimers disease is kickin right now, but I believe I saw him in concert at the Cincinnati Music Hall back around 1978. Did not miss many concerts or comedians back in them days. I will have to look through my stack of ticket stubs.
