MOVING TO DETROIT
Bob was sitting on the plane waiting to fly to Detroit, when a guy
took the seat beside him. The guy was an emotional wreck, pale, hands shaking,
moaning in fear.
"What's the matter?" Bob asked.
"I've been transferred to Detroit - I've heard the people are
crazy there. They've got lots of shootings, gangs, race riots, drugs, poor
schools, abandoned
neighborhoods, filth, no fire or police protection, no dependable garbage
pickup or sanitation system,
and the highest crime rate in the nation."
Bob replied, "I've lived in Detroit all my life. It's not as
bad as the media says. Find a nice home, go to work, mind your own business,
and enroll your kids in a nice private school. It's as safe a place as anywhere
in the world."
The guy relaxed and stopped shaking and said, "Oh, thank you.
I've been worried to death. But if you live there and say it's OK, I'll take
your word for it. What do you do for a living?"
"I'm a tail gunner on a Budweiser truck."
