On a recent weekend in Atlantic City, a woman won a bucketful of
quarters at a slot machine. 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 the 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 collapsed on 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 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


Hope you enjoyed this.
