Shorthand.

Now, I told you that story
to tell you this story.
1:25:11
When I was 1 7 years old,
I was arrested for being drunk in public.
1:25:18
There kind of seems
to be a pattern there, Ron.
1:25:21
If you knew Morse code,
you'd already know that.
1:25:34
And one DWl, which was
a bogus charge because it turns out...
1:25:40
...they were stopping every vehicle
traveling down that particular sidewalk...
1:25:48
...and that's profiling.
1:25:52
And profiling is wrong.
1:25:56
On the drunk in public charge
in Fritch, Texas...
1:25:58
...the arresting officer, who I had
literally known all my life. You know?
1:26:04
This guy lived four doors down from me
in a town of less than 400 people.
1:26:09
We've met.
1:26:12
He takes me to jail. When we get there,
he asks me if I have any aliases.
1:26:18
And I was just being a smart-ass
and said, "Yeah. They call me...
1:26:23
...Tater Salad."
1:26:28
Seventeen years later
in New York City...
1:26:31
...I'm handcuffed on a bench
with blood coming out of my nose...
1:26:34
...and this cop goes,
"Are you Ron 'Tater Salad' White? "
1:26:43
"You caught me!
1:26:45
You caught the Tater."
1:26:48
Thanks a lot. Thank you very much.
1:26:53
Love that story.
1:26:59
It is your turn,
and you don't get a choice.
