I'm white!

So almost all the black people at the office (5) came to my office all at once one day last week.

“I’ll bet hers is odd, watch,” said one.

“Ask her,” said another.

“Ask me what?” inquires I.

“Is the fifth digit of your Social Security Number odd?” asks one.

After quietly counting on my fingers I answer in the affirmative.

“You’re not black,” someone quipped. “If you were black, the fifth digit of you SSN would be even. All ours are even.”

“Mary Pat’s was even, though,” says someone else.

Apparently, she was very upset to learn she was black.

We all had a good laugh and the Black Power Meeting ended as quickly as it began.

So the running joke among the black people in my office is JuanitaTech is white. I’m running with it.

So, will my cheese sandwich be mailed to me or will I have to pick it up?

Cheese is for crackers.

We get cheese sandwiches now? This wasn’t discussed at the meeting! Why wasn’t I notified!?

Their assumption made me curious Juanita so I looked my wife’s # up as well. They’re 1 for 2 with us.

Just so we’re all on the same page here… mine’s odd, btw.

Apparently I’m black, then. This is a surprise, since the makeup I use is one shade removed from the palest available. Wonder where I could have missed this in my geneology.

Oh well - JuanitaTech, I might still have some cheese in the fridge, perhaps we could trade?

I knew it! I knew I was white!

Apparently I tried to convince my family of this when I was four years old, but they didn’t buy it–now I have PROOF!

Oh . . . wait . . . you’re white if it’s ODD?

Well, shit. I ain’t nothin’ but a colored gal, then. :wink:

Fight the power!

I’m odd AND white. BEAT THAT, MUTHAS!

:smiley:

Now I know why I’ve got rhythm. Oh BTW. I changed my name to Kaneesh to better reflect my heritage.

Well won’t my momma be surprized? I’m neither! My 5th digit is a Zero. I’ve been told I’m so white I’m practically clear, so I guess they were right! I’m a nondenomination american! (no that’s not quite right…)

Hmmmmm Hubby’s even, so he’s black now… Actually he’s a nice medium olive brown.

Cool, I’m black! I always knew there was something my mother didn’t tell me! (But where did I get this limp, mousy brown hair, then???)

I’m black too. <looks at self> Hrm - is today opposite day or something? Or am I getting my colors confused? :slight_smile:

My husband, who’s about as white as Danny DeVito is tall, also has a zero for the fifth digit of his SSN.

Don’t count your white chickens yet JuanitaTech , it could mean you’re hispanic, at least if we go by my SSN. Maybe you’ll get some “pan con queso” instead.

My wife and do have the exact same last four digits however. Crimeny, did I marry my sister?

Q.E.D.: White men can’t code.

Damn, this screws up everything. There are a whole lot of forms I have to go back and revise.

It’s worse for Mrs. Kunilou, though. She thought she was Asian.

I’ve got a zero, too (er, also) – what does that mean again? Is zero odd or even?
