Don: When I get called names, I usually thank the name caller, boy does that throw them for a loop!! Once, I was called a name commonly used as a derogetory name for black people just because I was working for a black owned & operated Taxi company (was I there token white?), and I stopped, looked in the mirror, looked shocked, and thanked the person that called me that, as I obviously had made a big mistake in assuming that I was white! (when the name caller left, he was terribly shaken up, as I did all this with a stone serious face). -Mike Schiller In sunny Fort Lauderdale
