She took a >>break from the slots for dinner with her husband in the >>hotel dining room. But first she wanted to stash the >>quarters in her room. "I'll be right back and we'll go >>to eat," she told her husband and carried the coin-laden >>bucket to the elevator. >> >>As she was about to walk into the elevator she noticed >>two men already aboard. Both were black. One of them was >>tall...very tall...an intimidating figure. The woman >>froze. Her first thought was: These two are going to rob >>me. Her next thought was: Don't be a bigot; they look >>like perfectly nice gentlemen. But racial stereotypes >>are powerful and fear immobilized her. >> >>She stood and stared at the two men. She felt anxious, >>flustered and ashamed. She hoped they didn't read her >>mind but Gosh; they had to know what she was thinking!!! >>Her hesitation about joining them in the elevator was >>all too obvious now. Her face was flushed. She couldn't >>just stand there, so with a mighty effort of will she >>picked up one foot and stepped forward and followed with >>the other foot and was on the elevator. Avoiding eye >>contact, she turned around stiffly and faced the >>elevator doors as they closed. A second passed, and then >>another second, and then another. Her fear increased! >>The elevator didn't move. Panic consumed her. My God, >>she thought, I'm trapped and about to be robbed! >> >>Her heart plummeted. Perspiration poured from every >>pore. Then one of the men said, "Hit the floor." >>Instinct told her to do what they told her. The bucket >>of quarters flew upwards as she threw out her arms and >>dove to the elevator floor. A shower of coins >>rained down on her. Take my money and spare me, she prayed. >> >>More seconds passed. She heard one of the men say >>politely, "Ma'am, if you'll just tell us what floor >>you're going to, we'll push the button." The one who >>said it had a little trouble getting the words out. He >>was trying mightily to hold in a belly laugh. The woman >>lifted her head and looked up at the two men. They >>reached down to help her up. Confused, she struggled to >>her feet. "When I told my friend here to hit the >>floor," said the average sized one, "I meant that he >>should hit the elevator button for our floor. I didn't >>mean for you to actually hit the floor, ma'am." >> >>He spoke genially. He bit his lip. It was obvious he was >>having a hard time not laughing. The woman thought: My >>God, what a spectacle I've made of myself. She was >>humiliated to speak. She wanted to blurt out an apology, >>but words failed her. How do you apologize to two >>perfectly respectable gentlemen for behaving as though >>they were going to rob you? She didn't know what to say. >>The three of them gathered up the strewn quarters and >>refilled her bucket. >> >>When the elevator arrived at her floor they then >>insisted on walking her to her room. She seemed a little >>unsteady on her feet, and they were afraid she might not >>make it down the corridor. >> >>At her door they bid her a good evening. As she slipped >>into her room she could hear them roaring with laughter >>as they walked back to the elevator. The woman brushed >>herself off. She pulled herself together and went >>downstairs for dinner with her husband. >> >>The next morning flowers were delivered to her room >>- a dozen roses. >> >>Attached to EACH rose was a crisp one hundred dollar >>bill. The card said: "Thanks for the best laugh we've >>had in years." It was signed; >>Eddie Murphy, Michael Jordan >> >>PS - This was too funny not to send to you.
