Epic fail then, Mrs Bill.
“MINMU MUFFIN!”
He be slidin’ down the wrong side of the bell curve, sho nuff.

I’ve never heard that expression (the bell curve one, I mean; I’ve definitely heard sho nuff!). Hilarious!!!!
"Bell Curve" is a statistics thing.
There was a notorious (if you were a leftist) book written some decades back by a UCLA prof that described how the negro of the species had a serious problem with IQ.
Book was titled "Bell Curve" though I might be wrong, as it described the statistical distribution of intelligence. Never read it, but the contents were not encouraging to the apologists for the failings of the negro community.
Much frothing at the mouth ant threats ensued after the book was published. AFAIK, no professional rebuttal was published refuting the claims.
I just love a good story with a happy ending!
Waffle House, the instinctive place of safety and succor for miscreants of every kind.

Probably where his mother was working, since she called 911.
I like my local Waffle House food and have never seen any problems with the people there.
Good for her.
Did he thay he wath thorry??
Yeah. Waffle House. Even with your tongue bitten off, it’s ooo-ooo.”
I did not know that story behind the bell curve. We use the bell curve in my line of work when explaining speech and language evaluation results to parents. My coworkers will DEFINITELY appreciate the “sliding down the wrong side of the bell curve” expression!! Sad, but funny!
Actually it was Art Jensen, a professor at UC Berkeley, who wrote the earlier papers about IQ differences and race. He was thoroughly attacked for pointing out that blacks had lower IQs. No one was supposed to even think that, much less write about it.
Years later, maybe in the 90’s, two Harvard professors Charles Murray and Richard Hernstein, wrote the Bell Curve. Very few people read the book, thousands protested it. Basically they pointed out that there was a distribution of IQs and the people at the top end were reproducing and the people at the bottom end were reproducing.
The book is very long and very difficult to read without a good background in psychometrics. That hasn’t stopped critics from criticizing. It’s what they do.
The bell curve still applies and I have known some exceedingly bright black guys, one probably a genius. Obviously from the top end of the curve.
The paucity of them in engineering and science is mute testimony to the accuracy of the reports.
Wow.
The one time I sat on a jury, it was a rape case in which the defendant was employed at the time by Waffle House.
Which is neither here nor there, except that he knew his intended victim from the mornings when she and her Dad would enjoy their father-daughter breakfasts together at WH.
Now, I say *intended victim* because in the time between his unwanted advances on her at her place of employment (at a different restaurant) where he had been politely & then more forcefully rejected - as his escalation of boorishly drunk behavior demanded his being ejected by the manager - she left for home while he left for more alcohol to consume in the parking lot, waiting for her to walk out to her car. Unfortunately, he mistook one of her coworkers for her and had himself a rape anyway.
The girl he meant to rape was barely old enough to serve beer. In the process of making himself memorable to the girl and her coworkers (thus providing a link for LEOs to chase down), he had blurted out, “You just don’t like me because I’m old and ugly!” The P.O.S. was probably in his 50s and indeed looked like a homeless guy or like the actual done-hard-time-for-this-crime-already convict that he was. (White fella, which is neither here nor there.)
At some point the actual rapee explained she had her time of the month & therefore was using a tampon. He told her, “Take it out or I’ll *bleep* you up the *bleep*. Some guys just won’t take a no, even preferring it upon threat of harm.
I hope the poor gal in this current case can rejoice in her victory while recovering her sense of peace at home. There’s no law saying you must open the door simply because someone knocks. Turns my blood cold to read he may have tried this before with a lady frightened enough to keep him out.
Or maybe that's just where his mom worked?
