Bio
Middle-aged, middle-class, cultural iconoclast, INTP with a wife, 2 kids, 2 cats, dog, mouse, 3 gerbils, goldfish, and a growing pet cemetary in my yard. Majored in math and economics, lean toward the esoteric, dislike authority and doubt conventional wisdom. I'm rather detached, generally happy, and have a sneaky suspicion that we might not actually exist. I have a small social circle, hang with the kids and wife, golf, read, think subversive thoughts and suspect I could benefit from a mind-altering drug. I used to hang glide, suspect that in some alternate reality I have a double who is a criminal mastermind, and I can make a strange clicking noise with my tongue that I've never heard another person make.

I've just solved the problem of discrimination in America!

Rate: 3 Flag

 

You see, we’ve been thinking about this problem all wrong!  By focusing on the victims of discrimination, we've been overlooking those responsible!  So, I set about identifying who ISN’T being discriminated against in order to find the true source of our problem…

 

First I eliminated blacks, because they’re obviously discriminated against.

Next I eliminated women, because everyone knows that they’re discriminated against.

  women

 

Then I eliminated gays and the transgendered, Jews, Muslims, evangelical Christians, intellectuals, scientists, the disabled, the disfigured,  cross dressers, Latinos, the poor, the elderly, teachers, veterans, the young, atheists, fat people, bald people, ex-cons, bicyclists, skateboarders, mimes, gypsies, carnival workers, “little people” and Carrot Top.

 

 

And here’s who was left...

herb 

 

It turns out his name is "Herb" and he lives in Osh Kosh.  And since he’s the only person in the country NOT being discriminated against, then he MUST be the cause of the problem.

 

So, will somebody please get rid of Herb so we can all live in peace?

Hey, I think I know Herb!
Nah, suit's too blue and the tie's too red. We can't trust people like that, they want to mate with our red-suited and blue-tied women... What's next? Anarchy, I tells ya, Hell in a hand-cart! You mark my words...
Is that the Maytag repair guy? I KNEW he was looking down his nose at me!
wench - sure enough - good eye - the Maytag repair guy. He struck me as about as ordinary a guy as I could find for "Herb". : )

Darryl - yeah - one wonders if "real" Maytag repair men actually wore a tie? I somehow doubt it!

spleen - maybe if you were one of the few people to have your Maytag washer go on the fritz!
