Don King

Imagine my surprise when I looked up from my book yesterday on my bus ride home and watched in shock as Don King shuffled on and sat right in front of me. Before I could blurt out, ‘Yo Don, what’s up? How’s Mike Tyson?’, I took a closer look and was disappointed to realize that this gentleman was just a Don King Wannabe. From the picture below, I’m sure you can understand how I made the mistake. For the next few blocks I was somewhat distracted by DK Wannabe’s hair, lifting my eyes from the pages of my book to take in the wonder of his afro. Well, one of the times that I looked up to take in more of his hair; DK Wannabe was looking out of the window. That provided me with a profile. Oh why did I look up then? The profile allowed me to witness what must truly be a ‘Wonder of Nature’. Don’t know if you’ve ever seen this but it was truly a wonder to behold. This DK Wannabe had a little mini afro sticking out or his ear! I am not kidding. It was a little THICK tuft of hair – looked just like a little ear ‘fro. If that wasn’t gross enough, he proceeded to expel a wad of phlegm from deep in his throat, crack the window and send it sailing!!!! I was mortified with visions of either it not making it all the way out of the window and flying back into my face or it landing on the outside of my window. To make matters worse he did it 3 more times! Just when I was about to get up and change seats, the wonder of his afro lost, he got up and shuffled off of the bus. So long DK Wannabe, Phlegm Throat – ‘til we meet again.

(I'm getting a little better with the sly camera phone shots.) This is the back of DK Wannabe's head. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a good pic of his ear 'fro.
