SENOR SULU ES UN HOMOSEXUAL

As I mentioned before, the whitish chevy has many accesories that seemingly operate with a mind of their own. The most obvious and headstrong is the radio. Each time the car's ignition is turned the radio blares out, at near full volume and always from the same AM radio station. Now, it does this even if the channel has been changed and the radio switched off. In years past, in a more superstitious culture, some would have thought it was haunted. I prefer to think of it as God's sense of humor.

In a previous blog, I refered to the station as the Afro-Mexican Petecostal channel and quite honestly, I never know which combination I am going to get due to what appears to be the radio stations free floating scheduling. In that light, I was delivering a pizza to an apartment complex. I got back into my car and fired her up as a group of Latin men huddled around a car several slots away. Suddenly, "Senor Sulu es un homosexual", blared out of the speakers. I reached the "off" knob as the announcer continued,
"agente de 68 a Ãnos, Takei del George anunciado........" From the group of men, I heard the following, One man asked, "Sulu is gay?" "Si, si", several said knowingly. As I pulled away, another asked, "Senior Spock?" "NO, NO", they all said.
