How much currency would a first-rate accountant receive in America?

I don't know, a lot, probably, if he or she is good.

She?

Are there Negro accountants?

Yes, there are African American accountants, but you don't want to use that word.

There are homosexual everythings. There are homosexual garbage men.

[shocked]

And how much currency would a Negro homosexual accountant receive?

You really shouldn't use that word.

Negro?

Many women want to be carnal with me because I am such a premium dancer.

No, it does not exist for you. You exist for it. You have come because it exists.

Please do not be distressed. This is only the driver's seeing-eye bitch.
