Q: Are you used to September 18 yet?

The first time I heard the Air Raid sirens I was in North East China just above the DPRK ....Thought for a minute Trump had finally pushed the button. ..turns out it is to remind Chinese of the day Japan invaded.
What was you reaction the first time you experienced sept 18 in China?

I have this tendency to say the absurd to make fun of the absurd.

 

For example the south china sea, where is the russian sea, or the american ocean or the british gulf of fish and chips.

 

So my idea would be make an air horn for every day of every invasion of every country in the history of the world and put the air horns across the street from every chinese embassy or consulate in america and blow the air horn at the beijing embassy of the US on dec 7, apr 30, feb 28, jun 6, jun 3, aug 6, aug 8, nov 11, and a few more until they understand the meaning of the word absurdity. Some people never listen so you cuss to piss them off, my favorite option for elite intelligent eggheads, knock them upside the head, or blow out their eardrums, works for me.

For laughs, the first time I wanted to holler "incoming 2 o'clock" and duck for cover like I train soldiers for incoming shells and the direction of assault by clock instead of compass, but nobody would understand here wtf I was doing.

This is where you Americans show your ignorance...

 

 

have you head of the “English Channel”? In French it’s called “La Manche”, not “Les Anglais Manche”

So the Indian Ocean belongs to India, what is your point? Every country should have a body of water named after them. Should we rename it "England Channel" to make everybody happy.
