5. Take comfort in this story:
My little brother struck up a conversation with a customer (he sells mobile phones), who happens to be a EMT who answers a few turnpike accidents on his beat. My little brother and his African American workmate mentioned a burnt out car they saw the other day and the EMT told them that this car was full of skinheads (Nazi regalia and the whole nine yards) that flipped the other night. Alchohol use was obvious as beer cans were scattered around the wreckage.

The EMTs arrived just in time to see the flames start on the overturned car. They saw the car's contents (some still moving) and "ascertained" that the car could explode any minute. They decided that using the fire extinguisher was too risky and took their time in calling the FD. The car exploded. Neither the Highway Patrol nor the FD asked too many questions. :evilgrin:

My little brother and his friend were stunned but far from disgusted.

Keep in mind that this was Rural Ohio (borders of a decent sized city). Tell me all midwesterners are racist bastards...

NOBODY likes skinheads.
