Seeing your joke about the wealthy and cutting grass reminds me of what was presented as a true story, and knowing the circumstances and location I believe it to be true. Charlie Pride is, as most know, a well known country and western singer and he just so happens to be Black. After a promising career of pro-baseball didn't work out he turned to his second love....singing! Anyway, Charlie, after making it big in the music business, he moved to Dallas and bought a fabulous home in a very posh section of town...needless to say, he was the only Black in the 'hood. Charlie liked to work in his well manicured yard and one day while working there a blood blue pulled up in her Mercedes and honked her horn for him to come over to her car. Being the polite individual he walked over thinking maybe she wanted to invite the new neighbors to the next 'hood social soiree at the country club. (Hey! I didn't say that Charlie wasn't a dreamer) Anyway, when he approached the car the BB told him that she had been noticing how well he kept the yard for the owners of this house and she had decided to offer him work in caring for her yard just around the corner. She coolly told him that she would more than match what the owners of this house were paying him for his handyman work. To which Charlie responded..." Well, to be honest, the lady of this house doesn't pay me one cent for my yard work, but she does let me sleep with her." Needless to say, the BB was able to make that Mercedes peal rubber, leaving Charlie standing there in front of HIS house.
