ARE YOU A PINKO?
Has this has happened to you? It's highly unlikely unless you're Korean. You know when you've just met a new person and naturally in the course of small talk you exchange meaningless tidbits of information about yourselves.
What do you do?
Where do you live?
Do you like rimming?
And my favourite.........
Where are you from?
Inevitably you always get the question of origin if you're not white or have a thick accent which I dont really mind.
NEW PERSON : Where are you from?
ME: Australia.
NEW PERSON : No. Where are you really from?
ME: Really I'm from Australia .(of course I would naturally lie about this)
NEW PERSON : Where did you originally come from?
ME: Oh how silly of me for not realising what you asking in the first place, Korea.
NEW PERSON: North or South?
Now let's just stop right here.
Was it the AK-47 strapped to my back and the black pyjamas that gave me away? Was it the "I Love Kim Il Jong!" badge pinned to my chest? Or was it my continued insistence that a centrally planned economy is in fact superior to a market economy that made you think that I may potentially be from the North.
Normally I would just say South but hey that's boring! Now I just say.
ME: North
NEW PERSON: Really? Wow that's great. Aren't they communist?
ME: Well let me tell you about a story about man who was my dad.
A poor revolutionary barely kept his family fed.
Then one day he was shooting at some food.
And up from the ground came a communist dude.
The next thing he knows JB's a fugitive
The kinfolk said hey move away from there
They said Australia is the place you outta be
So he loaded up the boat and he sailed to Syd er ney!
Much better!

Thanks for clearing that up hoon - I always wondered but was too scared to ask... Always thought you had a northerly look about you though.
no worries mate! just had to get that off my chest. wow feel so much better now. =)
What is rimming?
Well when a mummy and daddy really love each other.....or a daddy and a daddy (I'm hip with that I used to watch "My Two Dads!") well they can.....bugger I've forgotten.
I thought they only let spies or weapon exporters leave the Kimrea. :)
or maybe you should just start telling people that your family were exiled from NK after failing to topple the Kims with a coup.
