None of his classmates liked him because of his stupidity and clumsiness, especially his teacher, who was always yelling at him, "You're driving me mad, Tyrone.”
One day Tyrone's mom came to school to check on how he was doing.
The teacher told his mom honestly, that her son was simply a disaster, getting very low marks, and that she had never had she seen such a stupid boy in her entire teaching career.
The mom was shocked at the feedback and withdrew her son from school and moved out of Detroit, relocating to Cleveland.
25 years later, the teacher was diagnosed with an almost incurable cardiac disease. All the doctors strongly advised her to have heart surgery, which only one surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic could perform. Left with no other options, the teacher decided to have the operation, which was successful.

When she opened her eyes after the surgery she saw a handsome young doctor smiling down at her. She wanted to thank him, but could not talk. Her face started to turn blue, she raised her hand, trying to tell him something but quickly died .

The doctor was shocked, wondering what went wrong so suddenly. Then he turned around and saw our friend Tyrone, a janitor in the Clinic, who had unplugged the life-support equipment in order to connect his vacuum cleaner.

Don't tell me you thought Tyrone became a heart-surgeon.

I
And why did you assume Tyrone was black? I went to college with a white guy whose father was German, and his mother was Swedish. And his name was Tyrone..

You are right. I had forgotten about him.

Who assumed he was black?
Could he not be a foreigner? They are considered DBAs too.
Can't be so quick to jump to conclusions :)

Affirmative action comments made me come to that conclusion. Since he was in Detroit schools as a small child, a foreigner would not be a logical assumption.

And how is your friend Tyrone doing now? Are you still in contact with him?

I too had an acquaintance named Tyrone who was an All-American guy in acts, spirit and demeanor. I don't recall if he was Black, White, Yellow or Brown, only that he was a great person. He played football, basketball, and baseball in high school, never a 'star', but a dedicated participant.

Unfortunately, that was fifty years ago, and many moves for both of us. Most people from that time in my life are distant memories. I just remember him because of his warped sense of humor, rather like RockKnutne's.
