Toledo Tales

(Toledo, OH) Local resident Jon Hewitt, who recently began work at a local branch of a Big 8 accounting firm, says that he has been "beseiged" by coworkers asking him for advice on dancing.

"Yes, I am black, and no, I cannot dance," said Hewitt. "I can't believe these people; one woman came up to me and started quoting lines from 'Save The Last Dance,' thinking I was going to bust into some jive-ass impromptu soft-shoe routine."

Hewitt, who just graduated from UT with a double major in accounting and finance, said that even administrators ask him about dancing.

"This one VP stopped in the middle of a presentation and began to gyrate around the room," he said, adding that his favorite musician is Josh Groban. "He started up with this: 'Yo Jon, how's my Krumpin?'"

Hewitt said that he hopes the novelty of a black accountant will soon pass.

"I'd hate to leave this place because the money is good and there are opportunities to get transferred to New York," he said. "But if these people find out I can't even do the Electric Shuffle, it might kill my career."
