"We don�t eat with FORK like AMERICAN, you bring chop stick now!"

July 02, 2003
Yesterday the First Shift Clique (led by Grace) went to Jumbo Buffet. We all go out twice a month as a group and eat something, then usually do something afterwards. It was Grace�s turn to choose where to eat because Grace is Senior.

We went to Jumbo Buffet, according to Grace because they are clean and have good crab legs. Everyone seemed to have a good time and I can�t really relate the comedy of most of the evening without drawing you a picture of the impressions that were done or having you understand the inside jokes, but what you can get is this:

We were a big group and were consigned to the big group room. We weren�t loud, we weren�t obnoxious but we were large and in charge. We sat in this room pretty much alone for most of our tenure there but for part of the time this large Asian family came in. Please note that Grace is Filipino.

These Asian people were loud and screaming the entire time. First, they�d yell in their native tongue and then again in English. �You bring chop stick! We don�t eat with FORK like AMERICAN, you bring chop stick now!� I think they were drunk on something and it was embarrassing to be in the room with people so rude to the help but Grace iced that cake when she said, �People like that are the reason that people make fun of Asians.� Then, proceeded to do an impression of the people and talk about how they would be at our store tomorrow, �I no speak a the English� to cheat us. She finished her monologue with, �If you don�t like it here then swim back to China and take a Cambodian under each arm with you when you go.� Okay, she didn�t say the last part but it would have been funny.

Grace was really embarrassed and that�s saying something considering you sat by someone that during their impression of Marsha started licking things. Gross.
