Quote of the Week:

"No, I taught them to make ethnic slurs."

(My friend Sean S. served in the Peace Corps a few years back. They sent him to Uzbekistan, where he became a prime ambassador for our great nation. He recently paid me a visit before heading out to play a mean game of frisbee. He's very enthusiastic about frisbee. He's very enthusiastic about things in general.)

Enthusiastic Sean: Wow, you live right next to a baseball field!

Me: Yeah, you play?

Sean (enthusiastically): No, but I am American! And I taught baseball in Uzbekistan.

Me: What other America things did you teach, did you teach them to make apple pies?

Enthusiastic Sean: No, I taught them to make ethnic slurs.
