Thanks Francesca, I enjoyed the part of Japanese "eikaiwa (English-speaking)" TV program….;-)

Well, let me give you one funny "true" story. When I was in New York many years ago, I was talking with one of my Japanese coworkers.

Coworker A: "Hey listen, when a Japanese guy got into a bank yesterday..., his bank was robbed in broad daylight!"

Nobuo: "And....?"... See more

Coworker A: The guy did not understand what the robbery said so he asked, "I beg your pardon?"
