European (probably),
with a head like a Viking,
talking to a shorter
white guy, probably
American, whose Caucasian
features had been diluted
through years of
intermarriage, but could
still pass for white
in Nazi Germany.
The American was asking
the European about
getting a driver's license
in the Philippines.
"Do I need to pass
a driver's exam?"
he asked, and
the European laughed.
"You can," answered the Viking,
"but you don't need to.
I know a guy inside;
just
pay him 1,500 pesos, and
you get your license
in half an hour."
"Wow," said the American.
"That's like the price
of two fast food meals."
"I know, right?" said the Viking.
"You can get anything
in this country if
you have the money."
And the two white guys
started laughing out loud
in a highly obnoxious way,
and they started catcalling
the two pretty girls
who just happened to
be passing by.
