BLACK ROBBERS (A True Story)

This would have to be one of the best emails I've ever read....

For anyone who didn't see the episode of David Letterman's show where This story was told, Read this: (And remember it's a true story...)

On a recent weekend in Atlantic City, a woman won a bucketful of Quarters at a slot machine. She took a break from the slots for dinner with her husband in the Hotel dining room.

But first she wanted to stash the Quarters in her room. I'll be right back and we'll go to eat' she told her husband and carried The coin-laden bucket to the elevator.

As she was about to walk into the elevator she noticed two men already aboard. Both were black. One of them was very tall and had an intimidating figure.

The woman froze. Her first thought was: 'These two are going to rob me.' Her next thought was: 'Don't be a bigot, they look like perfectly nice Gentlemen.' But racial stereotypes are powerful, and fear immobilized her.

Avoiding eye contact, she turned around stiffly and faced the elevator doors as they closed. A second passed, and then another second, and then another. Her fear increased! The elevator didn't move. Panic consumed her. 'My God' she thought, I'm trapped and about to be robbed! Her heart plummeted. Perspiration poured from every pore.

Then one of the men said, 'Hit the floor.' Instinct told her to do what they told her. The bucket of quarters flew upwards as she threw out her arms and Collapsed on the elevator floor. A shower of coins rained down on her.

'Take my money and spare me', she prayed. More seconds passed. She heard one of the men say politely, 'Ma'am, if you'll just tell us

What floor you're going to, we'll push the button.' The one who said it had a little trouble getting the words out. He was trying mightily to hold in a belly laugh. The woman lifted her head and looked up at the two men. They reached down to help her up.

Confused, she struggled to her feet. 'When I told my friend here to hit The floor,' said the average sized one, I meant that he should hit the elevator button for our floor. I didn't mean For you to hit the floor, 'Ma'am.' He spoke genially. He bit his lip. It was obvious he was having a hard time not laughing. The woman thought: 'My God, what a spectacle I've made of myself.' She was too humiliated to speak. The three of them gathered up the strewn quarters and refilled her bucket.

When the elevator arrived at her floor they they insisted on walking her to her room. She seemed a little unsteady on her feet, and they were afraid she might Not make it down the corridor. At her door they bid her a good evening.

As she slipped into her room she could hear them roaring with laughter as they walked back to the elevator.

The woman brushed herself off. She pulled herself together and went downstairs for dinner with her husband.

The next morning flowers were delivered to her room; a dozen roses.

Attached to EACH rose was a crisp one hundred-dollar bill. The card said: 'Thanks for the best laugh we've had in years.'

It was signed; Eddie Murphy & Michael Jordan.

Things are such now that we have to be careful on ALL FRONTS for as things become more unpredictable some people in general become more desparate. That said we should not live our lives in fear without reason (or because of superficial reasons) but make it our daily practice to be aware of our surroundings regardless to who it is and where. Color doesn't hurt us, people do.

See Dick.

See Dick come.

John sees Dick.

John can't run.

John would split.

But Dick is quick.

Go away Dick.

Please go away.

You are the last one who can save this day.

Do Wall Streeters waiting for mega bonuses constitute job generation therefore no increased tax?

OK...They already kicked our butts with the Bailout but now they're gonna hollar in our faces too?!!! Are they really seriously considering giving mega $ bonuses to people who duped the American investors out of mega dollars when they used our money as a personal casino (without having to face loss). They reduced their forces by 3,000 so they feel they can afford to do this? A prime case for this $250,000 + having a tax increase cause not only are they not creating jobs, they are destroying them.

Border jumpers may not be able to speak our language but they seem to know their way around financial lingo.

I can see the headlines now, ***STRATEGY WORKED*** FINANCIAL TAILSPIN REDUCES BORDER ACTIVITY!

Let some good come out of this. Paste the newspapers of this catastrophe at the border.

Let all come who will. Just be ready to be legal, healthy and taxpaying.

This morning on the Today show, his left eye is drooped. Postponing debate and suspending his campaign would be understandable if this is the case but not over seeing a vote that has so many more knowledgeable than him attending to it.

Going To Iraq

A soldier ran up to a nun, out of breath, he asked, "Please may I hide under your skirt? I'll explain later". The nun agreed.

A moment later two military police ran up and asked, "Sister have you seen a soldier?"

The nun replied, “He went that way. "

After the MPs ran off, the soldier crawled out from under the skirt and said, "I can't thank you enough sister. You see, I don't want to go to Iraq. "

The nun said she understood completely.

The soldier added, "I hope I'm not rude, but you have a great pair of legs."

The nun replied, "If you had looked a little higher, you would have seen a great pair of *****.... I don't want to go to Iraq either"

IF I WERE MALE, I COULD RELATE TO THIS AND FEEL NO COWARDICE AT ALL.

Does anyone know where in the Bible this is found? I found it once as a teenager but have not been able to find it since. I believe it was in the Old testament. Thanks.
