good god, it's great to be white

normally, when you go on the road as a comedian, the comedy club puts you up in a hotel. sometimes, however, you get an apartment rented specifically for traveling comedians.

the problem with staying in an apartment is: when it comes time to check in for a flight and print boarding passes in advance, you're shit out of luck.

most cities have a little business called "kinko's" within their borders, but not all, and ocala florida, if you do a google search, is lacking such an establishment.

just my luck, i happened to be performing in ocala, and had little interest in arriving at the airport early just to check in.

what to do...

what to do?

well, when you're a reasonably normal looking white guy, you just find the nearest hotel, wander into the lobby like you're staying there, walk over to the elevator as if to go to your room, then change your mind and meander back to the front desk and say, "excuse me, i'd like to check in for my flight and print my boarding passes, where's the business center?"

not only will they tell you, they'll give you the access code to the computer.

and they'll do it with a smile.

take that, minorities who receive suspicious eyes whenever you enter a business.

:D
