You think I shouldn't have smiled so big the entire time I was behind him?

To be fair, they didn't have any Dr. Pepper.

I can see that. He's hispanic and I'm white. He's clean shaven and I have a goatee. It's like we're twins!

2- The guy probably wouldn't have been so nervous if your junk hadn't been hanging out of your pants.
3- I actually had a few similar experiences the last couple weeks. I do some of our high school sports reporting. Fall sports start in August when it's 160 degrees, so I usually shave my head the first couple weeks so I'm not standing on the sidelines dealing with wet old guy hair.

I didn't think anything about it... except I've made two trips to St. Louis this month, same time as the monument stuff and Nazis. For those unfamiliar, St Louis has a diverse population. When I was out with my wife and daughter, no big deal. But whenever I ran to a gas station or was wandering around Dave & Busters looking for a restroom, I noticed I got a lot of stares. I thought about getting my press pass out and pinning it on my shirt, but I don't know what this country hates more at the moment, Nazis or journalists. Which is comically sad.

1- It's not like I don't know why I'm fat there, buddy.
2- But, it's an unusually mild morning! Little Ulysses needs some air, too.
3- That has nothing to do with my story. You should be ashamed of yourself.
