    I shit you not. This just happened.

    There came a knock at the door, which is unusual but hardly unheard of. Solicitors, or the friendly people reminding me that I forgot to pay a bill, or something like that. I usually travel to see my friends, and none of them enter unannounced, so it could have been that. Not likely, though.

    Anyway, I answered the door and there are these two women there. One of them appears to be holding a Bible, but I can't tell because her hand is covering the title.

    At this point, I look a wreck; I slept from six to noon, today, and haven't bothered putting myself together yet, as I'm waiting on some laundry before heading out to Seattle. My hair is down, and I haven't shaved for about three days. I'm not at all taken aback by the look on one of their faces; they think they've unduly disturbed me.

    "Oh, I'm sorry," says one. "We're looking for hispanics."

    "People who speak Spanish," the other adds.

    This is about the last thing I expect to hear from anyone knocking at my door. "Um," I manage to say. "That's not me."

    "Do you know where any are?"

    "Downstairs," I suggest.

    "Immediately downstairs?"

    "I think so. But I don't pay much attention to my neighbors. This building has seen a lot of turnover."

    "Okay," says the first. "We'll go see."

    And they left.

    What the hell?

    Perhaps they were looking for Jesus as he is a Mexican/hispanic

    Maybe gonna make a complaint about Jesus being "mispronounced"/ co-opted as a forename?

    Hey, I live in Sea-town! Maybe they'll come knocking on my door, lol. That is weird though. maybe they are trying to put together a Hispanic Bible group or something.

    I wonder why she was covering the title.
    Several explanations comes to mind.

    Maybe the bible was made in Hong Kong.

    Part of the 2012 adventure. They have a map and the Hispanics are part of deciphering the code.

    Just the way she was holding the book

    It was just the way she was holding the book. It was a black book, soft-cover, textured "leatherette" with stamped gold lettering. Looks like a Bible. I wasn't wearing my glasses, so the small print on the spine wasn't clear when she turned to leave, but I can say there were more than three words (e.g., "The Holy Bible") on it. I have no idea.

    Perhaps it was "The Eternal Book of Damnation and Remorse"

    Maybe they needed someone to interpret said book?

    anyways what they did there was racist, Tiassa. They clearly were looking for hispanics only.

    It was Publishers Clearing House- you won $5 million. But since you looked like shit you couldn't be on TV so they instead gave it to Hector downstairs.
