As they started looking behind my bushes I asked what they were so frantically looking for and their frenzied spokesman told me what I expected...They were looking for a Statue of Superman.
He said they were hell bent on tearing down all Superman Statues and they had been told that there was one in my neighborhood.
I knew what the answer to this question would be but I asked in anyway... “Why do you want to tear down Superman’s Statue?”
Several of them got really angry at my ignorance and for a moment I thought I was going to be set upon.
Then several of them shouted at me in unison, “Don’t you know there is no greater example of White Supremacy than Superman!”
I thought to myself, “Boy, is that silly” but I did not say that for fear of being physically attacked as they set upon me.
Not saying anything about their silliness was a wise move on my part. It has been a long time since I was in Vietnam. By not asking that question this was the first time since way back then where I felt like I had dodged a bullet.
Would I kid u?

I bet the “Mob of Pakistanis going to the 7-11” comment in the first sentence of this Blog Posting confused you. Actually, I explained what this means in a Blog Posting several years ago but I’m glad to do it again.
Whenever we see news clips of Pakistan on the Nightly News there are always mobs of people going about doing everything they do. For example, if a Pakistani want to go to the 7-11 to get a pack of cigarettes, before he leaves home he sends text messages to 25 people and in no time at all he has assembled a mob to accompany him to and from the 7-11.
During all of their comings and goings they are shouting, pumping their fist into the air and many of them are carrying and waving handwritten protest signs.
A Pakistani home is not complete unless it has a good supply of Handwritten Protest Signs.
