Extra, Extra

that's what I thought, too dh.

I've found no racism or any inkling of it in that blurb. anyone who's been in this city long enough has seen a Sabbath elevator where it stops on every floor.

[2] Thanks for the borough correction. [1] There wasn't supposed to be anything racist about bullet #2. I just assumed that people are familiar with Jewish custom regarding chores on the sabbath. For those who aren't familiar, observant Jewish people view sundown btw Friday and Saturday as a day of rest, and therefore can't do things like call the cops about snakes. There's nothing pejorative about that abstention; it's just noteworthy when one has a five-foot snake in your driveway.

fuckin chinks!

In response to the above, I wouldn't go as far as to call it racist, but it certainly does look silly. And it was Brooklyn, not the Bronx. Dave was all over that one.

There's an racist undertone in that second bullet unless you read the full story and realize that the family was Orthodox and couldn't use the phone that day to call 911.
