So Close, Yet So Far

This happened awhile ago, but it's too good not to mention.

My awesome friend Prudence told me a story: her husband mentioned that he'd seen her coworker Adele in passing.

"Adele has short hair, doesn't she?" he asked Prudence.

She said, yes, sure.

"And she wears glasses?" Uh huh.

"And she's sort of average height?" Yep.

[Pause]

"She's black, right?"

Guess we don't really know each other all that well.
