Random encounter with the ghost of Barry White

Tuesday November 30, 2004 @ 04:02 PM (PST)

As I walked into the office today after getting lunch, a middle-aged black gentleman asked me if I had a light.

He was the spitting image of Barry White. What’s more, he was actually—I kid you not—wearing a full-on seventies-style white leisure suit. He was standing on the steps at the entrance of the building, leaning on a wheel chair. Attached to the wheel chair was what appeared to be an oxygen tank.

“Nope, sorry,” I said, and walked past, pretending I hadn’t seen anything out of the ordinary.

one can only wonder what happened to ryan's camera phone at this point…

I thought about whipping it out, but I was already walking past him. Plus, I figure it's kinda rude just to stop and snap a photo of a random stranger point-blank like that. He might have hit me with the wheel chair.

What if it _was_ Barry White?!

I guess all black people look the same to you, wonko.

Yep. Just like all trolls look the same to me.

By the way, have I mentioned I eat babies?
