Radio Courtesy (CH 69)

I speak enough Cantonese to start a fight at a wedding 

I'm stealing this, no doubt!

I went out yesterday and turn on the radio and the conversing was in Chinese I asked them to speak English and they did.  I felt bad for being so rude while listing to them struggle to speak English.  If you are a NCKA member and your reading this post I apologize.

Around my house, I'm known as "yang guizi". My wife insists it's a complement, but I'm starting to have my doubts...

I had a Chinese friend who used to call me something all the time, I think it was that. I finally got around to asking her what it meant, and she replied very matter-of-fact and unapologetically, "white devil". And then kept calling me that. Which I thought was hilarious, because it was never in an insulting tone, it was just like you call someone "dude" or "bro".

I've never felt it's my business to ask someone to speak in English instead of their native tongue. Not in a parking lot, not in a restaurant, not on a public radio channel.

Hence the word "had"
