On the tail end of -isms....

When I first came to the states, people would often ask me, "where are you from?"

it depends on the given day and what my mood was and what country was the main one producing goods at the time.

"Where are you from?"

"I was made in Taiwan"

~~~~~~~~~~

"Where you from??"

"I was made in Japan"

~~~~~~~~~

these days, I answer, "I was made in China"

but with the way the Chinese imports have been getting such a bum rap lately, I've been saying "I was made in Mexico"

one day, I am going to be asking people:

"Why you foam??"

"I have Ray Bees" (I hope, will NOT be the answer)
