I should seek a mental health expert for even wanting to respond to
you.

I think we can leave that to the real native peoples. Maybe I should
run around with a bone through my nose and a grass skirt so we can
see what some African tribes looked like. How would you like Lenni
Lenapes dressing up in that organ grinder's outfit?
BTW, I am having Thanksgiving in AP. Come over, I have my cousin and
her husband coming in from LA. He's a REAL Guinea - from Guinea,
Africa, you can meet him.

Aren't you boycotting the BSA?

I think they did get a little upset about the names of the sport
teams. BTW, my wife teaches in pre-school and they can't even
say, "sit like indians" any more.

I thought you were honoring Italian heritage? You didn't say Keady
insulted the native peoples but the Italians. Wasn't that what the
whole ruckus was about in Ocean Township? Or was it the Indians?

Whatever floats your boat. I had my Yorkie in a Mickey Mouse
raincoat on Halloween with ears and all so who am I to talk.

Yeah. Lincoln too. Even Karl Marx (I'm joking). Who cares? Why are
you writing this?

I'll save you a seat. Last one in buys the beers.
