Eddie Murphy Gaffe

I am so easily amused...

I have this weekly thing for reading the Fashion Police section of E-Online, and on rare occasions get sucked in by the celebrity sightings section. Most sighting posts reek of banality ("she was soooo nice and soooo cute"), but once in a while you find one that just makes you want to have been a fly on the wall so you could laugh your little fly head off and no-one would notice:

My aunt was at a casino in Vegas, and she got into the elevator, holding her cup of money she won at the slot machines, when three black guys walked into the elevator. She is a little woman, so she felt intimidated. One of them went 'Hit the floor..' So she dropped to the ground, dropping all of her money. The one who spoke went 'Ma'am, I'm sorry, I meant hit the button for the floor you want to go to.' She was so embarassed, gathered what money she could, and left. The next morning, a dozen roses arrived at her door, each wrapped in a $100 bill. The note read 'Sorry for last night-Eddie Murphy'
