I talked to this one guy, Jim. He was familiar with the controversy, so I asked him if he thought I was a bigot. You're not a bigot. You're just an asshole. Well, thanks for that clarification.
Guys use words like that in the gym all the time.
Good one, smart-ass. Explaining to him that I was aware in advance that the next question would be akin to asking a black person if he knew Sidney Poitier , I asked him if he happened to know this James Ru guy who's been doing the most writing. Of course, maybe he doesn't know the secret handshake yet. Having had enough, I threatened not to pass him the ball all day. He backed off.
