What to Expect When You’re Expecting to Beat Your Child
UPMC Emergency Room Waiting Area, Shadyside:
Pregnant Girl: Ya know, I’m worried about this baby. It’s like I don’t believe in whopping and beating kids at all.
Friend: Yeah, me either.
Pregnant Girl: It’s just that, if somebody ain’t listenin’ to me the first time I say something I will punch them in the chest.
Friend: You can’t punch kids in the chest.
Pregnant Girl: Then they better listen `cause I don’t believe in spanking, but I will punch them in the chest.

Crackers are always causing trouble on buses.
71C Outbound, Oakland.
The bus is packed, and a Black Chick sits in an aisle seat next to a pile of crumbled Saltines™:
Older White Dude: Mind if I sit there?
Black Chick: It’s all dirty.
Older White Dude: It’s just crackers; you can brush it off.
Black Chick: [gives shoots a dirty look.]
Older White Dude: [politely snide] Oh, I don’t want to do anything that would offend you.
Black Chick: [re-assuringly] I’m going to be getting off soon.
Black Chick gets off.
Older White Dude: [brushes Saltine crumbs off and sits down.] What a brat.
