African-american customer talking to two african-american cashiers about Barack Obama...
African-american customer: First day he in, they shoot him. You watch!
White customer: They'd better not shoot him - he's our only hope!
African-american customer, to cashiers: White people think they ready; everybody think they ready.
White customer: I'm ready! I'm ready!
African-american customer looks white customer up and down, finally says: You ain't ready.
