Re. "If Chinese got American 
tattoos", Scott & Emilie remind me no
w of a related qu. & 
anecdote, i.e. "If Japanese wore English language T
ee & sweatshirts 
what would they say on them?"
-A friend who moved to 
Tokyo & married a Japanese woman reports seeing an otherwise ordinary looki
ng Japanese mother & young daughter on 
the street in Tokyo. The daughter
 didn't look old enough yet to have 
reached a rebellious age but was wea
ring a sweatshirt with a design that included profane English words on it s
uch as "fucker" & 
"fudgepacker" !
My friend figured they'd likely boug
ht the shirt in some trendy store where neither customers nor sales staff l
ikely knew what the English words meant!
