To be honest, I thought this was going to be a racial rant and I was curious about it. Ends up being tongue in cheek funny. I’m sure someone will find offense at it, though.

Thanks for the laugh, astro

I hope she goes forward with the second part.
Hmm… Someone’s gotta send that link to the “Friends” writers.
Here’s the funny part:
