Okay, if I may riff on Brian's joke for a second...
My friend Drew is a trainer at my gym. Built like a brick shithouse, but nice as can be, Drew is brown-skinned -- dark dark DARK brown-skinned at that! Anyway, new boss, new rules, so when Drew is training a client, he's not allowed to socialize with any gym members -- all well and good.
When training someone, he wears a black shirt; when just working the floor, he wears red. Our joke is when I see him in a black shirt, I always say, "Oh, I can't talk to you now, you're in black." Which isn't much of a joke, but there it is.
So, this afternoon, I see him and say my usual, "...you're in black" bit, and his client thought I said, "I can't talk to you now, BECAUSE you're black" and got offended -- as if that would be something anyone would ever say to anyone.
Later, dressed in red, Drew and I laughed ourselves silly over it.
"You people...." sheesh...
