Not really well known, but I find it very funny.

Tex Cobb and a lot of the top contenders and champions of the 80's were at a special dinner in their honor, and Tex stood up to toast and said "Wow, I'm at the same dinner with some of the toughest ni**ers that ever lived!"

And Renaldo Snipes stood up all pissed off and said "You think I'm gonna just sit here and let you call me a ni**er?!"

Cobb responded with "I wasn't refering to you Mr. Snipes."
