Hey, Jake. Let me ask you something. Say you're crossing the street and some guy yells at you because you're about to be hit by a bus.
What street?
What's the difference?
Well, John, I'm tying to help you here, so...
All right, fine, fine. Fourth and Road. You happy? The point is...
Is it a local or an express?
What difference does it make?
Well, I want to know how fast it's going. Now, if it's a local, I know it's going to stop, but if it's an express, it's just going to come barreling through--
I don't know what kind of bus it is, all right?
Okay, fine, fine. So, I'm crossing the street, and here comes some kind of bus which may or may not be going fast enough to hit me.
Okay, you know what? The bus was going faster than I thought! You're dead!
Why does it always have to be the blind black guy crossing the street?
Oh, all right! Fine, Jake! It's a white guy crossing the street!
Now we're talkin'! Is he big and slow?
He's me! Okay?! I'm crossing the street!
Oh, well that's easy. The bus hits you and nobody calls for help because everyone in this neighborhood knows you.
