Theresa Story Number 2: Mulatto Butts

I was standing in a store engaged in a conversation with a kind bald white man.  He stood there smiling, showing pictures of his young black daughters.  I had recently viewed one of my favorite TV Shows, Archer.  Now what's great about good TV is that even after multiple viewings of the same episode you still enjoy watching.  What great about great TV is that even after multiple viewings there is still something to discover.  My most recent discovery was Archer's ringtone.  In Blood Test, Season 2: Episode 3 (one of the most hilarious), Archer is named as the father to Trinette's (his call girl of choice) "wee baby Seamus".  He and his mother demand a blood test.  Upon the realization that the baby may indeed be his, Archer decides to replace the blood with his accountant, Cyril's blood.  Because the main characters are spies the blood is kept in a Mission Impossible-like vault.  As Archer breaks in, his phone rings.  The fact that Archer didn't put his phone on silent is funny enough that you may forget to pay attention to the ringtone the first time you see the episode.  So when I finally paid attention to the ringtone I immediately downloaded it and added it to my quirky ringtone collection.  I unintentionally made this ringtone my default ringtone, and as I stood there with this proud papa my purse sang out "Mulatto Butts, Mulatto Butts.." I scrambled looking for the phone in my large unorganized handbag, but the damage was done.  You can't unring a phone.
