Wing Tips

 Chicken is all the rage, but the wing is the thing. 

First imagine this, the white people are in the position of black people, they were the slaves and the the "black" people have all the money, they are the wealthy, wasteful and when it comes to chicken wings they call them Dings, they only eat the flats and the drums, but the tips go to the white people. Here is how the dream I had one night went:

 We were driving around an area outside of where we live, lost. We got hungry and decided to stop in this unfamiliar territory for something to eat. We came to notice all these places that were advertising wing tips, braised, barbecued, fried, lemon pepper, sweet & sour, and other familiar flavors of the Dings we were accustomed to, we wondered, what are wing tips? We had no clue wings even had tips.  

We were afraid to stop and venture out in the hood with the white people hanging around outside the places but we were curious enough and hungry enough to give this overwhelming attraction a try so we stopped at a place called Tips & Dips.
