How come is it that when Asians eat internal body parts of animals, people go "Ewwwwwww"? BUT when a Scot eats "hagus" (sp.), people think it's "eccentric"?

You're talking about the stuff that's fried till it's red on the outside right?

Fry til it's crispy red and dip it in sweet/sour sauce when you eat it, with some Chinese pickles on the side.

Let's see:

You have a box of Kleenex on your car's rear window sill - it's actually on the floor of the rear passenger compartment so I can reach it.

You make your wife sit in the back seat to keep the kids company - hey, babies need entertainment, they have a hard time entertaining themselves! Putting their feet in their mouths can get old

Somewhere in your fleet of vehicles is a Toyota Camry - hehehe, or a Honda Accord!

Even though you can just barely afford it, you also have a Mercedes - buwahahaha, so true!

If nothing else, you wash your feet before going to bed - my face, and of course I brush my teeth.

You never go to bed with wet hair - my wife let's it dry out naturally first.

You never sit on a surface that is still warm from someone else having sat there - hmm...never considered that one, but a cool seating surface is always more welcome in the summer.

How about:

- Can't go without rice for more than 48 hours?
My folks would bug me about the wet hair to bed stuff. As a good 'Chinese' I never asked them why. I figured they might think my brain would go soft? I should ask them!

I showed the list to my blue-eyed wife and she had a good time reading it. Really made her laugh!
