Tripper, sometimes it is too easy to push your buttons. But fun nevertheless.

I was joking. I think. ... hmmm ... maybe not. I'm not sure. Could be. Maybe.

HAW!! Fact of the matter is I worked for a Japanese company for ten years. I was the Director of Sales for them in the US. I have been to Japan more than ten times. Beautiful country. Great people. Sometimes very hard to work for since they believe that they can do no wrong and that Americans are a lower form of human. Overall they are nice guys, but I grew to not trust them. I hired an American to cover the Northeast and he was married to a Japanese girl. I was suspicious of an email that I was copied on. I sent it to her to translate. The English portion of the email said one thing and the Japanese language portion at the bottom said, among other things, "please reply in Japanese, I don't want the Americans to know what we are doing." And these guys were part of our US company! That was when I decided to find an American company to work for.

But don't worry. I like Japan. I like most of the Japanese people and I still have good friends over there. I'm glad we only dropped two bombs on them.

Maybe.
