Over the weekend I spoke with a former co-worker whom I really miss. We worked so well together and the thing we both really liked was race was not an issue with us, we just liked working together.
One summer, we hired a young man to work with us who was black (important for the story) and his job was to tear down old computers to see if they could be used in any way.
One slow week, the three of us were working in the lab and whenever we had a break in work, we would load up the racing program "Test Drive" to see who could get the fastest time.
Everytime this young man started driving he would get chased by the cop. While driving one day he exclaimed "Why does that cop chase me everytime!"
I said "Well, you're a 21 year old black man..driving a red Ferrari at over 200 MPH...he probably thinks you stole it!!"
There was a long pause and then he suddenly began laughing and said "Actually that is HILARIOUS" and began laughing so hard he couldn't drive.
Just another good example of how good working conditions can be if you don't take things too seriously....
