We used to regularly enjoy bouncy tales set at gas stations, convenience stores, and grocery stores.
A rude repuke would be put in his place by a wise commie.
As the chastised repuke crawled off in red-faced humiliation, applause would break out among admiring onlookers.
It was a tried and proven formula, and any DUmmy hinting at skepticism risked his DUmp cred.
That bouncy genre has slowly vanished, as masters of the format, like rsmithnumbers, have fallen by the wayside.
It's really nice to see it used in a current thread:

Adventures in racism at the supermarket checkout line
http://boingboing.net/2015/07/02/adventures-in-racism-at-the-su.html
To excerpt:
Writer of piece is at supermarket checkout. In front of her are three AA women
First one attempts to use her EBT card-rejected for "incorrect PIN"
Other two attempt same, with same results, machine rejects all three PINs.
Shoppers say "We entered correct PINs" Cashier says:
"No, NSF or you all used wrong PINs" Bystanders pass hat, pay for groceries. Then:
I'm not telling you this story to give a warm fuzzy about the good Samaritans of Giant Eagle. I am telling it because of what happened next, after my stuff was checked out.
“I hate to say it,†the cashier said, which means she didn't hate to say it at all, “but people like that just don't keep track of their money. They think they have all of it on their cards, but they just don't budget well.â€
As I went to pay, I took out my debit card and entered my PIN.
Declined.
“My card was declined. It says I'm not using the right PIN.â€
She looked at me blankly for a moment. Then she said this:
"I'll get a manager."
Need I add that the writer is white?

6. If I had a nickel for every time
Somebody whispered "happy james earl ray day" to me.......
You know a bouncy is pretty good when it inspires other DUmmies to spin secondary bouncies:

4. I've seen the clerks be mildly abusive
to white people too. At the local grocerteria I watched a male clerk humiliate and delay a couple buying groceries for their growing family on their WIC card. The clerk was dragging his feet and saying the WIC card #s didn't work. I was behind the line and protested LOUDLY about the way he treated this woman and her husband, an obvious combat vet home on leave, in uniform.
I caught myself behaving in a similar fashion when I worked for a year up the street at a convenience store. I was perturbed that a local woman, a tweaker, was spending her entire food stamp allowance, about 280$, in a convenience store.
Quickly I realized that the circumstances people live under are none of my business.

I guess the DUmp misses the racist part that only the blacks had EBT cards and not a debit card.

I know, it's nasty and racist to prick the feel-good bubble:
Shoppers say "We entered correct PINs" Cashier says:
"No, NSF or you all used wrong PINs" Bystanders pass hat, pay for groceries. ...
...
As I went to pay, I took out my debit card and entered my PIN.
Declined.
“My card was declined. It says I'm not using the right PIN.â€
There were:
enough shoppers in one checkout linebehind
3 EBT users
who were in the same checkout line
in line behind each other with no cash or regular credit/debit card customer in between
carrying enough cash
to pay for all 3 EBT users' groceries?
And the checkout clerk didn't call for the manager after the second or third refusal?
I might believe 2 or 3 such dubious points in the context of a larger story, but these seven dubious points are the entire story! That was a very stupid and inept :bouncy: !

Element of truth in this bouncy. Every cashier has experienced this. So have people that have been stuck in line behind the EBT folks when this happens. I doubt the cashier said anything like that... could have happened though.
No conversion, no evil rethug put it his/her place. Didn't start with "So". I give it 1.0 bongs just for the element of truth in it and the racist angle. The fact the dummie wasn't the original creator of the bouncy? That shows a little creativity, bringing bouncies in from other places. I gave that 0.5 bongs.
Total bouncy score: 1.5 bongs.

boingboing DOT net. So that Bouncy was taken from a place that's named after the sound a bouncing ball makes?

Actually, the DUmmy here just reprinted some blogger's story that makes a little more since (still bs, though):

although that dumb bitch would fit in well at the DUmp, and she may already be there.
