The other day we were eating lunch and got talking about games we used to play when we were kids. Remember how much fun it was to play red rover, capture the flag, kick the can, bloody murder, German flashlights, etc?
One of my friends (who happens to be from Texas) hadn't heard of some of these. Somebody asked him "What games did you play growing up then? Chain the black guy to a truck?" (obviously making fun of the racism that went on in Texas a few years ago, not condoning it).
There was another game that came up that had something to do with trees. He also hadn't heard of that one. He said "like we could have played that when we just had the one tree in town."
Someone else asked "Is that why they lynch people with trucks down there? There aren't enough trees to go around?"
