Whenever you're down, just come to this site and find the thread "I saw a black person...". You don't have to look in it, just at the title.
If that doesn't crack you up, look at your avatar.
I don't know how you can pass up my first idea.
That's like starting a thread, "I saw an elephant..." (or "I saw a Czechoslovokian-Aztec Indian", in case someone's thinking I'm being racist).
