Punch Gun

Upon completing assembling an Ikea kitchen table, my mother-in-law said to me, “Well, it’s not like you people, who sit on the floor.”

For the record, I’m Taiwanese. And all this from a woman who has known me for almost twenty years.

And to give the Japanese people credit, they do sit in chairs.

People who constantly use “real” as an adverb. Saying “sick” to mean “cool”. Mothers who push their strollers on the road, NEXT to the sidewalk. Sarah Palin. Giving out bibles to kids on Halloween. Couples who get pet dogs before they have children. Drivers who don’t signal when merging. Chatty cashiers. Shoppers waiting in line, but not using the time to fill out their checks. People who still use checks.
