'Hi guys!' exclaims JLC. 'I was once offered oral sex by a young man outside my flat, at 7 o'clock on a Monday morning. Tempted as I was, I decided against it and went to work instead'.
Tell us about the funniest/most appalling/most peculiar thing you've seen in the street.

FYI,
Simply using the word black to describe someone who happens to be black is not racist, it's accurate.

If her ethnicity is relevant to the story, then go for it.
I can't see how it is here.

Adjectives provide colour and ambiance to the story.
If you cut out everything that isn't strictly relevant to the story, you end up with this:
Person 1: 'What do you think life is all about?'
Person 2: 'In what sense?'
Person 1: 'Well, we're all on this planet, orbiting the sun, none of us really have any sense of purpose because our natural instincts have more or less gone. What is life about now, with all of this considered?'
Person 2: 'I honestly think, as long as you're happy and you don't harm or hurt anyone during the course of your life, then you've made the most of it and made of it the best you can.'
Person 1: 'NO! IT'S ABOUT JESUS!'
And this isn't as entertaining.
