Ha ha, funny but not original. Barney Miller had an episode years ago in which Det. Frank Luger (played by James Gregory) told Det. Ron Harris (played by Ron Glass) to "shuffle" on out of here, well, it wasn't 100% clear what he said but Det. Harris at least thought he heard it. That caused Ron Harris to mock Luger with stereotypical black accents in a long diatribe. Afterward, Luger felt chastened and apologized, then to seal the deal he offered his hand with palm up to "slap some skin with Det. Harris". Harris, exasperated at that point turned Lugers hand over to the side and shook hands with him "white man style". The final gag got the biggest laugh, actually far superior to this routine which was funny but didn't have the final bit of irony at the end. I tried to find the bit on Youtube but couldn't. Too bad, it's a great bit. Barney Miller was a brilliant TV show. Funniest cop show ever. Jerry
