    Targeting the American market, reasoned Hiromoto, was a simple matter of removing all obstacles to continuous eating.

    They recognize the problem with Chinese food. An hour later, you’re hungry again.

    The shortage of sit-down toilets for the Olympics was explained today.

    No wonder that stuff made in China is so cheap. Their workers are taking half the number of breaks as Americans.

    Don’t get the number two. That stuff will go right through you.

    Don’t ask, don’t tell. The smart policy in regards to how they clean the utensils in a real Chinese restaurant.

    I always wondered why women spent so much time in the bathroom.
