A man walked into a store and told the cashier, "I’d like a hamburger and and a scoop of ice cream."

The clerk looked at him and said, "Are you an American?"

The man, clearly offended, said, "Well yes I am."

But let me ask you something.

If I had asked for fried chicken and watermelon, would you ask me if I was black?

Or if I had asked for a cheese crisp would you ask me if I was Mexican?

The clerk said, "Well, no, I guess not."

"Well, all right then, why did you ask me if I’m an American just because I asked for a hamburger and a scoop of ice cream?"

The clerk replied, "Because this is Home Depot Mr. President."
