Hey bobby...
That is great....
When I was in High School, there was a litte asian man that would come in aand but $500 in groceries at a time....for his resturant.....that was a lot back then,,,
and he would always give a check....and he would always go to someone that didn;t know him....and they would question the check....
and his name was ***
he would get really animated, and start saying loud,....I'm *** that know ***
here in houston we have a restarant named FuKim...you know what that has turned into

As you may know, Japanese has relatively few sounds, so many words that borrowed from English also sound like other English words.
One is fax, pronounced fakkusu and virtually undistinguishable from f**k(s).
Makes for a lot of interesting phone calls when you can't get the other party's machine to take your fakkusu.
