    If there aren't enough Blacks in the fire service then the opposite would be true in the Postal Service.

      The professor incorrectly assumes that firefighters hang around the station all day and night waiting for the next really good meal. If he spent a day or two in a fire station, he would decide to complain about something else. Regards, Clark

        My local and rural PO (no mail delivery, PO Boxes) has a Black plus 2 Whites
        as postal clerks. There are no Blacks apart from himself in this neck of the woods so
        he probably feels uncomfortable, but he's a miserable sonofabitch which doesn't help
        his cause any because everybody knows he's a miserable sonofabitch.

        Sorry to veer away from the thread topic.

          Sounds like you'd make fast friends?
