[While smoking & pacing on a sidewalk, I inadvertently end up behind two white adolescents wearing loooongt-shirts]
Adolescent #1:
Nice.
Adolescent #2:
[admiring own necklace]
Yeah.
Adolescent #1:Where’d you get that nigger-bling?
[I backhand-smack Adolescent #1 in the ear; he turns angrily around to see my shaved-head & smirking tough-guy façade]
Me:
I have out of control gesticulation.
[beat]
Kind of like Tourette’s syndrome, but with hand gestures.
[insincerely]
Whoops.
[Both adolescents snarl at me, but walk ahead a few paces and continue their now stilted conversation; I stroll up behind them again, and they cross the street]
Adolescent #1:
[Yelling, once safely across the street]
Fuck you!
Me:
[thumbs up]
