Big Whoop

I came home from work yesterday. dropped the keys on the coffee table and tore thru the mail with my thumb. The channel stopped on Hollywood Squares when I put down the remote. The question was something to the effect of “The cotton gin invented by Eli Whitney did what?”

Whoopi responded with a lightning quick, “Put a lot of black people out of work”

thunderous studio laughter. she bore those gums. I had no words. I numbly resumed my search.
