5 rules for travelling in the ghetto
woohoo, content ahoy!!!
So I work at the border between compton and watts....i've seen the watts towers more times than i'de like to admit...and basically what i'm trying to say is i WORK IN THE FREAKING GHETTO!! As such, I thought I'de share 5 good points i've learned all this time while working in the ghetto....
1.) The mailman....oh this guy is crazy. He comes in everyday and repeats the company name, Bulletproof Automotive as just, " Buuullett Pah Rooooof." He wears enough nasty smelling, cheap, perfume that tends to mix with the sweet smell of sweaty negro and invades the offices one room at a time.
2.) You musn't say anything bad about Magic Johnson. Apparently big corporations have done enough research on the topic to come up with the idea that people in the ghetto love Magic Johnson. He's on almost every billboard advertising anything from free HIV testing to shoes to music.
3.) Don't use the gas stations.....on more than one occaision, i've had these dirty gansta-lookin' guys approach me for money....they just sit at the gas stations all day waiting for poor suckers that need gas to stop. There are so many of them, they make single file lines to hit up the unsuspecting motorists the whole time they're pumping gas.
4.) Don't eat the ghetto food! Apparently in the soulfood cookbook, BBQ sauce is comprised of ketchup, pepper, and various combinations of what appears to be cough syrup. I know the fried chicken places are a plenty as well as the normal fast food eateries but let's put it this way....fast food from any particular chain is supposed to taste the same, come with the same great, polite and courtious service no matter what location you're eating it at....the ghetto breaks all these rules and more.
5.) Don't call your company BULLETPROOF if you plan to locate it in the ghetto. Besides the slew off middle eastern customers we get asking us to create bulletproof automobiles (which is not what we do) there is a reason we no longer have a sign that advertises our office.
