Congratul-Asians, Arthur.  You are only the fourth person ever to get one
of my jokes.


The other play on "Asians" is the following, which you probably know.


Oriental gentleman turns up at bank with ¥100,000, asking to change it to
dollars.  The teller gives him $1,000.  Next day the man shows up again,
with another ¥100,000.  Teller gives him $990.  Oriental gent (in thick
accent):  "What's this?  Yesterday you give one thousand.  Today, give
nine ninety.  How come?"  Teller:  "Oh, that's just fluctuations in the
exchange rate."  O.G.:  "Solly?"  Teller (losing patience): 
"Fluctuations. FLUCTUATIONS."  O.G.:  "Ah, so.  Well, all I can say is: 
FLUCK YOU EULOPEANS TOO!"


That kind of thing will get you expelled from an American university
nowadays.
