[QUOTE=BoldHighlander;614113][FONT="Georgia"][COLOR="DarkGreen"][B]In other words the old adage of "don't judge a book by it's cover"

Indeed, two more cases in pointies:
When the new neighbors moved into Screech's old house across the street, my Mom said "make sure you lock your car, they're mexicans and there's a lot of them there all the time".
Not much later Tony and his whole family came by to help take care of things when my late Father was still alive, his home security camera also covers the front of my parents house, and we're all cool.

The time my oldest brother brought home a girlfriend I arrived after a 10 hour workday covered in dirt, I was washing off with the garden hose and she made a slightly derogatory comment about me being dirty, I pointed the hose at her and said "Yeah, and ..?"
She said "You wouldn't dare!" (oops, wrong thing to say to me at that time of day because ...)
I hosed her down from head to foot and then got her kids too. After the intitial shock wore off, my brother was beyond bewildered,
The Great Gilbert Water Fight was on when I pointed out that there was another hose nearby. They later married (coming up on 10 years now).

First impressions aren't always correct.

CT - Tony still laughs when one of his cousins mentions my kilts.
