Huh? I thought Hans was being facetious, or was practicing his
standup comedy. I can see something like that coming out of a far
western oriental type when dealing with an american that isn't really
understanding his accent, but here in the states, after we've
explained it once in plain english, the next exchange will more than
likely go the other way, possibly even making it to the 'hey
dumbf*ck' stage on about the 4th reply.

And I do object, albeit somewhat tongue-in-cheek, to applying that
particular label/broad brush to all americans since I am one of those
creatures.
