Detroit Rules

Last week I visited the great state of Michigan and a few of it's more classier cities. I drove through Flint and thought of that Michael Moore movie, Roger & Me. Heading South I found myself on 8 Mile road and as luck would have it, saw the area where Slim Shady himself grew up. The icing on the cake was the ghetto of Detroit. I met a contractor of ours there who explained to me Detroit Rules. They are simple guidlines to follow when in the ghetto's of Detroit. 1. Never go in alone an after dark. 2. Never make eye contact. 3. Run all stop signs and street lights. and 4. GET THE F*@!$ away as fast as possible. I put Detroit Rules into effect after I got lost and noticed I was the only White Guy surrounded by a bunch of burned out homes and some dudes watching me from every side of the street. Hanging out in the airport I saw Rasheed Wallace from the Pistons. I wondered if he followed Detroit Rules.
