The scene: Friday night at a swank club with my friend, Hassan.
Ernie: Hey Hassan, this looks like your type of club. I see nothing but beautiful Persian people here.
Hassan: Okay, for the record, I’m not Persian. Persian people are from Iran. I am from Iraq. Iraq. With a Q.
Ernie: Oh. So if people from Iran are Persian, what are people from Iraq called again?
Hassan: Iraqi.
Ernie: …
Hassan: …
Ernie: I see nothing but beautiful Persian people here.
Hassan: *screams at the tops of his lungs* SO ERNIE, ARE YOU GETTING TREATED FOR THAT “SPECIAL” RASH?
Okay, he didn’t really say that last line. But he could have, with the evil glare he gave me for the rest of the night.
