- So.
-
- I met a British friend of mine at a local pub which serves ESB, since
- we both like a good beer now and again, but mostly now. We played
- some darts and then moved to the pool table. Neither of us is any
- good but we were playing above ourselves.
-
- After our second victory, a pair of Brits were the challengers. While
- I was getting another round, my partner had a talk with the Brits after
- which he pulled me aside.
-
- "We're going to play this by English rules."
-
- "Well, what's that?"
-
- "You would call it 'nigger' pool..."
-
- "Oh, you mean like dirty pool."
-
- "Yeah, if you scratch the next person gets two turns so you try to play
- to block them."
-
- Well, we put the Brits down in short order and the next challenge came
- from a couple. She wasn't very good but he was. I broke a ran all
- but two. He missed his shot, my partner coming up next.
-
- "We're in trouble now," she said.
-
- I knew my partner was still thinking about English rules and wouldn't go
- for the kill. I meant to say that he was going play position and not
- go for a shot but what came out was:
-
- "Don't worry, he is going to nigger it up."
-
- From the barstool beside me, in a southern accent:
-
- "Did you just say 'nigger it up'?"
-
- "Yeah, but I didn't really --"
-
- "Well, my name's Dennis. What's yours? Let me buy you a beer..."
-
- He extended his hand and I took it out of reflex but immediately turned
- away, embarrassed by my stupidity. I felt sick to my stomach.
-
- When my turn came again, I was in the bathroom washing my hand.
