Thanks for your response gopi-1. Yes JAM we are a wonderful country, the best. But sometimes we got to be sensible. Recently on a pool chat line some fool posted that the Filipino's should get booted out because they stink up the place. I heard that kind of crap before and that kind of stuff should be called out.gopi-1 said:

Oh come on Jerry. Youre old enough to know the terminology. If you want to make yourself feel less guilty for using it in the past thats fine. But using it now doesnt cut it. Its not PC if it is offensive. You just dont use it.PC has nothing to do with it. If you came into my neighborhood and used that terminology JAP you would be risking a lot and using the "too PC" excuse just wouldnt cut it. So lets cut the crap and be honest.Jerry Forsyth said:

When I ask him when is the next time I'll see him, he'll reply, "My people will get together with your people, and we'll do Chinese!"
Speaking of Chinese, when Parica stayed at my house for a short spell, I noticed he did not like most American food. I made him a tuna fish sandwich with mayonaise, and he picked at it, like a child who didn't want to eat his meal. He ate the bread and left the tuna fish salad uneaten on the plate. I soon found out that Jose actually does prefer Chinese food.
One time at a Joss tournament at Turning Stone Casino, me and mine were chowing down at the buffet and along comes none other than Francisco Bustamante who decided to sit down and join us for dinner. He had 45 minutes to kill before he had to play in the FINALS. Bustie proceeded to stuff his beak by chowing down on a full meal, consisting of a huge T-bone steak!
He then moseyed on upstairs to play his finals match against Dennis Hatch, and Bustie won the whole shebang!
