SC - Plastic Ware

[Siegfried Heydrich]

    The Japanese have grown considerably since WWII. Whether this is due to
the increased protein and fats in their diet from American influence, or the
lingering effects of Hiroshima & Nagasaki (let me introduce our new CEO,
Godzilla-san . . .), I dunno. I've noticed that second generation Latinos
tend to be much larger than their parents, too. Women seem to increasing in
mass as well (no catty comments, please) as their height increases. For
instance, my late wife was 5'10", and my current girlfriend is 6'5". And she
wants to fence too . . . heee, hee! (I'm a lefty, she's a righty, and in
melees, we're going to be lethal . . .)

PS - Turkish/Sicilian?!?!? Oh, my GOD, don't EVER piss her off! Her
relatives will raise you from the dead just to get you again!
