I'm not a _____, but...


We've all been there. It's the Christmas party and everyone is having a great time. The wine is being served and the conversation is flowing. And then that funny guy, you know Ted from accounting, pipes up with what will most assuredly be a hilarious little quip. And then that all too familiar phrase pops out of his mouth. "Dude, I'm not racist, but..."

At this point you don't know what old Ted is going to say. All you can say for sure really, is that it will be the most racist thing you've ever heard in your life. Any time an extremist view is followed with a "but", be prepared to hear things you never thought you'd be subjected to, outside the walls of John Evans Junior High. But hey, I don't discriminate. I won't judge. I know it takes all kinds, right? That's why this goes for all the "I'm not ____" statements. "Dude, I'm no homer, but the Broncos are obviously the best team EVER! "Dude, I'm not sexist, but women should only be allowed to work if it's in the kitchen." "Dude, I'm not gay but, did you check out that new guys ass! Yeah!"

No, a pre-qualifing statement doesn't give you free reign to say whatever you want. "I mean I've never actually been to Greeley, but dude, it TOTALLY smells like ass." And so we dance. What a tangled web the feeble tard mind weaves.

I mean, I'm just as retarded as the next guy, but...

Sadly, pictures can not be posted, so I fear this will lose it's funny. But you should look at it anyway.
