I realize I’m perpetuating several stereotypes by writing this, but the conversation I overhead two nights ago at my local Walgreens was priceless. I was waiting at the checkout line behind two short, drunk Native Americans buying Listerine when one of them noticed that I’m 6’5”…
First Drunk Indian: Hey look at this guy; he’s as tall as you.
Second Drunk Indian: Yeah, reminds me of Sasquatch.
First Drunk Indian: You ever seen one of those?
Second Drunk Indian: Yeah, once up by Pole Crick.
First Drunk Indian: Yeah? What’d he look like?
Second Drunk Indian: Big, stinky fella.
First Drunk Indian: No, what’d he look like, big and hairy?
Second Drunk Indian: Yeah, real big. And stinky, like this guy. (Points toward me)
Clerk, finishing counting nickels, pennies and dimes they’d used to pay for their Listerine: You guys have a nice night.
Both Drunk Indians in unison: We will.

I guess I wasn't aware of the "Chad is stinky" stereotype. Now I know.
