Six to Eight Black Men

This short story was pretty funny.  Yet, it made me curious to see how accurate he described how the Dutch celebrate Christmas.  It is pretty close but no mention of the 6-8 black men that travel with him.  However, one site did mention a guy named Black Peter that was Santa's assistant.

Laugh Out Loud Passages

I laughed out loud after I read this passage.  Dinah, The Christmas Whore pg 118

" Two young men passed down the sidewalk carrying a mattress, and one of them turned to yell, "Get that ho off the street!"

Had we been in a richer or poorer neighborhood, I might have searched the ground for a gardening tool, fearful that once again I might step on the thing and split my lip with the handle. Ho.

Please share any other parts that you thought funny here.  Sometimes by the time we go to Book Club I forget to share.
