Crips… Bloods… Newsies
One of my favorite The Office moments:
Michael:Darryl, have you ever been in a gang?
Darryl: Why?
Michael:It’s an advice question and if you don’t want to talk about it I completely understand. I know it’s very personal, so…
Darryl: [looks at camera and smirks] No, um, I have.
Michael: [relieved] I knew it. Ok, what are we talking about here? Crips? Bloods?
Darryl: Both.
Michael: God.
Darryl: Yeah. Them and the Latin Kings, the Warriors, Newsies.
Michael: Okay, so dig this. You’re on the street and one of your gang disses you.
Darryl: Oh my goodness.
Michael: Yeah. Right. So what do you do to get ‘em to make it right?
Darryl: Well see, um, in the gang world, we use something called “fluffy fingers.”
Michael: What is that?
Darryl: That’s when someone really gets in your face, you know, you just start ticklin’ ‘em.
Michael: Really?
Darryl: Yeah. And he starts tickling you. And pretty soon you laughing and hugging. Before you know it, you’ve forgotten the whole thing. Y’all just go to church together, get an ice cream cone.
Michael: I would have never thought that gangs would be tickling each other.
Darryl: Oh, it’s effective.
