So I come into work today, sit at my usual desk and start talking to a coworker named Judy. Now Judy is as southern as a nurse can get: accent, veteran ER nurse going on 20 years + and a sense of humor to die for. So I menton to her that Chinese New Year is Thursday and our converstion goes something like this:

Judy: "You're Chinese?'

Me: "um... yes, can't you tell?"

Judy: "I thought you where Hawaiian, I mean those Chinese people's skin is Yellower than yours and your eyes don't go back like they do" ***insert jester of 60 year old woman pulling her eyes back***

Me: "I'M NOT Hawaiian!!! And my Skin is yellow" ***Insert me laughing my ass off watching Judy pull her eyes back***

Judy: "Well I think you are Hawaiian."

Yeah these are the people I work with, aren't they a blast?

So later on tonigh Harvey Pekar (the Author of American Splender, yes the comic that the movie is based on) spoke at UGA. All I have to say is that he's a nut and funny as hell. His sense of humor and outlook on life is so original it has to make you laugh. So being the brave soul I was after his talk I joined the line of nerds, geeks and dweebs (my kind of people) to have him sign my ticket and ask one question that has been on my mind since I saw the movie.

Me: "So did your wife really puke after you made out with her for the first time?"

Harvey: "No, she had the runs. She really had the runs that night."

Brilliant, just brilliant.
