In Which I "Jack Off" A Customer.

[ralerin]

I'm talking to a customer and I think he gave me an extra dollar so I passed it back to him. I didn't want to tell him I wanted to "gyp" him off because that's racist, so I said, "Oops I didn't want to jack you off".

"Hurr hurr jack off" the guy says.

The worst part was that I had no idea what I said and what he was hurr hurring at until much, much later.

Why is that term racist? I couldn't find anything on wiki or the dictionary that said it was

Gyp - gypsy - implies all gypsies are thieves

Ahh,OK....but we don't have gypsies in the US,unless the term is referring to people that move around or travel a lot & that could mean me in my early years.

There are gypsies in a lot of places in north america. Even here in Canada.

They usually love in RVs, put up camp somewhere, then they buy/sell used goods (whatever they can get) to make a living. Had to do a paper on it in school, if i recall correctly, there is still quite a few caravans that circle around the New York area.

My mom grew up in Florida. There was a band of gypsies that lived close to her house. They had a 5-legged cow, which fascinated my mom and siblings.

For h'accuracy!

I was thinking "rip" you off but my mind went "No, jack off sounds better".

Oh well. What makes it worse is that the guy had to be late 40's, early 50's-I.e, approximately twice my age. At least he found it hilarious!

For what it's worth, it does sound better to be jacked off than to be ripped off .
