This funny and lighthearted stunt shows how important it is for us not to judge people by their looks alone.
What a nice way to illustrate this!

Ha ha. You can STAGE anything. If that were real life, there would be blood and guts all over the place. I posted a similar theme awhile ago that WASN'T staged featuring a rock organ player that looked like a banker. While it's true that we shouldn't judge people by what they APPEAR to be, if your video above was a real life scenario, I'd err on the side of caution (and common sense).

To quote Waylon Jennings, "I don't do it no more." "Don't know why I did it before, but I don't do it no more". smile Some of us are lucky to be alive after going through stuff like this that WASN'T staged!

I have to tell this story. . .
Years ago, back in about 1969, I used to play golf a lot with a group of guys, several of whom happened to be black. One day after we finished, my friend Howard Jackson found his car wouldn't start, so I gave him a ride home.
On the way, he wanted to stop and get a beer at a little neighborhood bar near his home. He opened the door and let me walk in first. It was like that old commercial where there is a general noise level, everyone talking, having fun. When I walked in there was instantly dead silence. Apparently there had never been a white guy in there before. My friend shut the door and quietly said, "He's good" and everything instantly returned to normal! After that I was always welcome there. As always, it's who you know! smile
My friends, times were different back then, especially in a small South Arkansas town, but I believe people are the same inside. The hard part sometimes is getting past pre-conceived expectations. I was blessed to be taught by my parents to treat every person as an individual. Heck I was raised on an Indian reservation and married a Cajun so I'm pretty much comfortable anywhere! smile

I hear you Don, STILL......I tend to steer clear of Biker Bars, North or South (and with or without a biker friend....if I had one.......which I don't.........unless you count Russ smile smile ).

Biker bars around here are fine. Mostly bankers, lawyers, doctors...people who can afford to ride high-dollar Harleys and dress up like thugs! See, don't judge!! smile
