Rowen Jokes

Carl Rowen, the black reporter and columnist, tells about when he moved into an affluent white neighborhood years ago.



A few days after the move, he went out and mowed the lawn. The man next door (who didn't realize a black family had moved in) came over and said, "Hey, it looks like you're doing a good job. I need somebody good to mow my lawn too. How much are they paying you?"



Carl Rowen said, "They aren't paying me anything, but I get to sleep with the lady of the house."
