An Unexpected Interruption

About

If you had known what was going on behind that door, you would never have opened it. We trust you

there, but also caught the whole encounter on tape and feel that sharing it really is for the greater good.

In addition to helping teach the Chinese word for hello, your awkward performance last week offers a

perfect chance to teach the English speaking world a few simple euphemisms for dating that everyone

needs to know to avoid having their own foot-in-mouth situations. Thanks for understanding....
