Had an odd interaction with an elderly gentleman last week. His name was Ugathalemueski. He said just call me Uggie. Uggie proceeded to share with me that he was Hungarian, 89 years old and a proud Racist. Well as he uttered the word Racist my mouth fell wide open in aghast. Hoping that he had misspoken I asked don't you mean you are a proud Bassist. Uggie's expression was very quizzical. No, he emphatically stated I have been a Racist since the age of 20. Well feeling quite uneasy with this revelation from Uggy, I tried to change the subject but Uggie would have none of that. Uggie shared that since the age of 20 he has been running in at least a dozen Races each year. Relieved that the confusion had been cleared up, I said to Uggie, you mean to say that you are a proud Racer. Uggie shrugged and responded Racer, Racist what's the difference? Uggie doesn't get out much other than to those races.
