Thinking Before Speaking

"Hey Kosit, what's your Thai name?"

"Hey, what's Clinton's last name?"

"So you have class at 9? What time?"

Another brother said: "Wow! I was the only non-Caucasian female in there!.. Wait, wait! Let me rephrase that... there were a lot of Caucasian females, besides me."

ha ha ha... this reminded me of a an anonymous friend who said:

"What time are we meeting at 9am?" to which a couple of friends looked at him puzzled... and so he repeated it again with emphasis. "What TIME are we meeting at 9am?" and then one of his friends told him to think about what he was saying and he slowly repeated the words "What... time ... are ... we ... meeting... at ... 9... oh. he he he he"

but i'll always love "Is Jorge his Chinese name?"
