“In this era of political correctness, you really have to watch what you say. I had an incident here in New York City on the subway. This black gentleman approached me really enthusiastically, and he asked, ‘Hey man, did the Yankees win?’ And I said, ‘Yeah — you’re free. You’re emancipated. You no longer have to ride this underground railroad. I woke up in the hospital two weeks later.”
