The taste test
Here we have two samples of red blood:
The blood of a Mexican migrant worker
Who has been picking strawberries in the San Bernardino
Valley for seven years,
And here we have the blood of a Caucasian Distribution Manager
from Silicon Valley.
And here is Mindy, a self-employed career-coach from
LA,
To tell us which sample of blood is the most red-blooded.
Since this is radio, let me tell you,
Mindy has been blind-folded for this scientific test.
Mindy, can you see even a little light?
Mindy: No.
Good.
OK, let's get started.
One of our technicians is depositing a drop of blood on
Mindy's tongue.
Mindy, please rate this sample for red-bloodedness on a
scale of 1-10.
(Mindy is thinking.)
Mindy: Are you sure this is blood? It tastes like salt water.
I give it a 1.
OK, Mindy, stick out your tongue again please.
Now our technician is depositing another sample of blood on
Mindy's tongue.
Mindy: Oh, that's a ten.
We can't argue with science folks.
There we have it.
A technician is removing the blindfold.
Let's give Mindy a chance to adjust.
Mindy: I'm OK.
Ok, Mindy, remove the covers on samples, 1 and 2.
Mindy: Oh, my God!
Tell the audience what you see Mindy.
Which sample was the most red-blooded?
Mindy: It was the illegal Mexican migrant worker who picks
strawberries
For our smoothies!!
Well, that's our show, ladies and gentlemen.
Next week, we rate accents to see who speaks real American:
A plumber from Ohio or a construction worker from
Minneapolis?
Until then . . .
