You speak English" reaction that I get sometimes in America when I was born and raised here and never lived in a different country my whole life. What’s funnier is when I get the “Wow!

As a guy with a Korean face, I could never get away with the "Wow, you speak Korean!" reaction from native Koreans no matter WHERE I was born and raised (the US). Hm.

They were all well dressed in expensive suits with expensive looking escorts. Their minders were wider than they were tall. Looked like a gang of oddjobs. I was thinking that some of them probably could have done better in the bouts than some of the competitors that evening.

It really stumps the 'bad guys' when you come back at them like that.
