So this dialogue is paraphrased from tonight's second syndicated episode of King of Queens

Arthur: A chair that folds into a bed? Now I've seen everything!
Kerry: It's a futon. It's Japanese.
Arthur: Those Japanese are clever. What I'll never understand is how we beat them in World War II.
Kerry: Well, we did destroy two of their cities.
Arthur: Mystery solved.



I've relatively little to report beyond that, however, having skipped kendo tonight that I might snuggle with Wifey and Indian food as he watches figure skating championships for the whole US. Too bad they don't televise championship kendo... He likes to squeal whenever anyone falls, and actually knows what a Tano is, though he thinks it's named after its inventor, Mike Tano.
