4/15    I was riding my motorcycle to work today, and a guy in an SUV
        pulled up next to me at a stop sign an yelled, "You Bitch!"
        When I turned to look at him he asked me the way to the
        freeway in a thick Chinese accent.  I told him.
        \_ Thanks for sharing.
        \_ Eh?  Trying to map what he said into something else he might
           have been trying to say, coming up empty...
           \_ That's what I couldn't get either.  It must have been
              "excuse me" right?  But even with a Chinese accent that's
               not even close...
               \_ "excuse, which" maybe?  And then got flustered and
                  started over?
                  \_ "Hey you. Which way to the freeway?" which you only heard
                     the first part of? Or maybe something Mandarin or
                     Cantonese.
        \_ Now that I think about it, maybe it was some kind of sociology
           experiment.  We could all get in on this fun.  Walk up to someone
           on the street, mutter an explitive, and when they look at you,
           politely as the time of day.
           \_ It probably helps if you're a nice looking Chinese guy with
              an accent.
