Judy McBride: "Before I close my monthly Ghetto Group Psychological Therapy and Venting Session, I want to say that I'm very happy to see those individuals who returned from last month's session and some new people, too. I know that the insanity of this current society of greed and selfishness has challenged your sanity. I also realize that some of the news media depresses your weary minds and souls. And I envision thousands of sleepless people crying into their pillows with mule-size tears of despair and hopelessness.
"Let's end this session on a positive note with a true-to-life story that illustrates the concept of rhetto random acts of kindness. Here to share her story is Lady Red, the nice Caucasian woman who lives and works in the Ghetto Science Community."
Lady Red: "I experienced a ghetto random act of kindness when I tried to purchase gas at Mr. Habib's gas station and convenience store with my last five dollars. My car was low on gas, and I was late for work.
"I remember frantically searching inside my purse for that evasive five-dollar bill. After I found the money, I rushed inside the store to pay my last five dollars on pump five. Mr. Habib replied: ‘No need to pay, Miss Lady Red. You're the recipient of a ghetto random act of kindness.'
"I drove off to work—with a full tank—realizing that kind deeds really do happen in the ghetto."
