Hey buddy. It's all good. You reminded me of this Richard Pryor skit..... Interviewer: Alright, Mr. Wilson, you've done just fine on the Rorshact.. your papers are in good order.. your file's fine.. no difficulties with your motor skills.. And I think you're probably ready for this job. We've got one more psychological test we always do here. It's just a Word Association. I'll throw you out a few words - anything that comes to your mind, just throw back at me, okay? It's kind of an arbitrary thing. Like, if I say "dog", you'd say..? Mr. Wilson: "Tree". Interviewer: "Tree". [ nods head, prepares the test papers ] "Dog". Mr. Wilson: "Tree". Interviewer: "Fast". Mr. Wilson: "Slow". Interviewer: "Rain". Mr. Wilson: "Snow". Interviewer: "White". Mr. Wilson: "Black". Interviewer: "Bean". Mr. Wilson: "Pod". Interviewer: [ casually ] "Negro". Mr. Wilson: "Whitey". Interviewer: "Tarbaby". Mr. Wilson: [ silent, sure he didn't hear what he thinks he heard ] What'd you say? Interviewer: [ repeating ] "Tarbaby". Mr. Wilson: "Ofay". Interviewer: "Colored". Mr. Wilson: "Redneck". Interviewer: "Junglebunny". Mr. Wilson: [ starting to get angry ] "Peckerwood!" Interviewer: "Burrhead". Mr. Wilson: [ defensive ] "Cracker!" Interviewer: [ aggressive ] "Spearchucker". Mr. Wilson: "White trash!" Interviewer: "Jungle Bunny!" Mr. Wilson: [ upset ] "Honky!" Interviewer: "Spade! Mr. Wilson: [ really upset ] "Honky Honky!" Interviewer: [ relentless ] "Nigger!" Mr. Wilson: [ immediate ] "Dead honky!" [ face starts to flinch ] Interviewer: [ quickly wraps the interview up ] Okay, Mr. Wilson, I think you're qualified for this job. How about a starting salary of $5,000? Mr. Wilson: Your momma! Interviewer: [ fumbling ] Uh.. $7,500 a year? Mr. Wilson: Your grandmomma! Interviewer: [ desperate ] $15,000, Mr. Wilson. You'll be the highest paid janitor in America. Just, don't.. don't hurt me, please.. Mr. Wilson: Okay. Interviewer: [ relieved ] Okay. Mr. Wilson: You want me to start now? Interviewer: Oh, no, no.. that's alright. I'll clean all this up. Take a couple of weeks off, you look tired.
