Rod is a fellow delivery driver. He has been boasting to me in the past few days about an affair he is having with a white woman named Tiffany. Rod looks like the character Turk on the tv show Scrubs--I told him as much. He called me a JackA$$. He says his Mexican girlfriend , with whom he has two children--and is cohabiting, is going to get her giant Mexican family to, "Beat his black a$$," when /if he gets caught.
I, respectfully, asked him if she was born in Mexico? He replied earnestly, "No, she was born here, her Dad's from Guam, her mom's from here, I just call her Mexican cause she looks like one." He was unmoved when I produced a map showing him that Guam was nearer Japan than South America. "If it quacks like a duck," he said. Apparently if you live in this small southern town and have olive skin and black hair you are Mexican, regardless if your ancestors called Tuscany, Guam, or Persia home.
I love Rod for many reasons: He walks like a penguin, he's balding at the age of 20, the Turk thing, but his "quacks like a duck" mentality may just be my new mantra.

Dear blogger you sound awfully familiar to me given the fact that you no doubtly seem to believe that you are smarter than you actually are. I regrettably hate to inform you that your comment about Guam being closer to Japan than it is to South America in reference to the girl being Mexican is not quite as intelligent of a statement as you would like to think. You see...Mexico is not in South America but it was a nice try though!
tou che, though you got the point
