We better contact Wez, he seems to be the head expert on racism, Wez?

Why do you think it's racist Magoo?
Somebody here has to have a degree in racism.
Wez is probably the best guess.

I have not met your wife, but I would say she would get a chuckle out of it.
Shes not an expert either, so yeah.
I honestly dont know any racism experts, except the self proclaimed experts on this forum.
I think a better choice would be my wife - she is not a Mexican, but she is an immigrant, and served almost a decade on the San Diego Human Rights Commission Board - so she is sort of an official local expert on racism.

She is disqualified, your dumbness could have rubbed off on her.

What does Mexican have to do with anything?
Trying to run away from your racist post?
I would have accepted that she is disqualified because of her close relationship to me, but you are still trying to turn your offensiveness into a joke. Who would you recommend as an honest arbiter?

DA
Are you kidding me? What does Mexican have to do with anything?
Sheriff Joe
DA
Were you, a non Hispanic person, offended by my joke?
You have already bragged about being a liar who just posts on here to piss people off, and now, by the way you are trying to evade your racist behavior, you are a coward as well.
Liar, racist, coward - nice CV you got there. I would think that anyone who is related to a Mexican, or married to a Mexican, and therefore has what your ilk considers to be inferior people as relatives and children, would speak up and denounce you, but maybe they are afraid of your response so they are just cowards as well.

#1 You know what they say if you can't take a joke.
#2 You are the biggest liar on this forum.
#3 Get over your self, Snowflake.
What lies?
Sheriff Joe
DA
I am a racist.
That is obvious to anyone, and it is pitifully cowardly of you to deny it.

So, nothing then?
A Nap After Lunch Makes You Smarter
Afternoon naps are no longer guilty pleasures. New research finds that a postlunch snooze, if it’s not too long, is very good for the brain…especially if you’re older. Smart napping might even keep your mind younger.
Background: In Spain, China and many other countries, an afternoon nap after lunch is a time-honored cultural tradition, especially for older people. While it’s known that short “power naps” of 10 minutes or so can improve alertness and accuracy when performing mental tasks, the jury has been out on the cognitive effects of these longer siesta-type naps.
Study: American researchers studied 3,000 Chinese adults age 65 and older. They were asked to recall their postlunch napping (if any) over the previous month and were then classified as nonnappers, short nappers (less than 30 minutes) moderate nappers (30 to 90 minutes) and long nappers (more than 90 minutes). They were all given cognitive tests that included basic math, memory exercises and copying drawings.
Results: While 60% of the subjects regularly took postlunch naps, not all had cognitive benefits. The sweet spot for optimal performance on brain function tests was a moderate nap of more than 30 but less than 90 minutes. They did better on the cognitive tests than nonnappers, shorter nappers and longer nappers. Second best were the shorter nappers, who had better cognitive test scores than either nonnappers or long nappers.
Surprising finding: Compared with nonnappers/long nappers, the moderate nappers performed on cognitive tests like people who were five years younger.
Bottom line: If you can swing it, take a 30-to-90–minute snooze after lunch—your brain will thank you! The researchers cite other studies to explain what happens. You may wake up feeling a little groggy—it’s called “sleep inertia”—but once you fully wake up, your cognitive functioning will be improved for the next 24 hours.
Bonus: Afternoon naps can reduce blood pressure and even are linked to a lower risk for heart attacks and stroke, other studies have found.

Apparently we have no nap takers around here.....
