Suddenly the Jewish salesman got up and slapped the face of his fellow traveler. “What was that for?” - demanded the flabbergasted Chinese. “For Pearl Harbor” - replied the other one. “But I’m Chinese and it was the Japanese who attacked Pearl Harbor.” “Japanese, Chinese, it makes no difference to me.” For a while all was quiet, as the two contemplated the incident.
