From the "What were they thinking?" department


On a recent trip to Minnesota on my way from Minneapolis to Duluth I had to stop at a Wal-Mart on the way up (because I make that kind of money) to by a hat since I lost mine somewhere in the airport.
At the Wal-Mart there was this black guy in line in front of me. He turned around and starting looking at me when this strange look on his face. I thought maybe he thought I was someone he knew.
He then proceeded to reach out and shake my hand and say, "Man, I NEVER see any black people up here!"
I felt bad when I had to tell him I was just passing through. After he completed his transaction and before he left he hugged me. It's O.K. though, it wasn't gay. It was a 'brother' hug. The kind where you shake hands to keep the right hands in front of you so you can't get to close and hug with the left hand only.
So anyway besides seeing that cigarrettes are $3.91 a pack and I'm happy I'm not a smoker I had to stop and take this picture. The name of the gas station is "Pump N Munch". Yeah......
