Notes on a conversation while driving to dinner

“It's been a long time since I've seen Richard Chamberlain [1] on television,” she said. “I didn't recognize him.”

“You didn't recognize a seven foot black man?” he asked.

“Darling,” she said, “you're thinking of Wilt Chamberlain [2]. I'm talking about the actor, Richard Chamberlain.”

“Oh,” he said. “So you didn't recognize a five-five white guy then? Ouch!”
