Guess Who?

The title of this blog is not to be mistaken for a reference to the 1967 classic starring Sidney Poitier. Or the horrific 2005 remake starring Ashton Kutcher. 

Rather, it is a reference to the most excellent Milton Bradley board game entitled (what else?) "Guess Who?" 

Let's play a game, readers. Our very own Korean version of "Guess Who?" starring quotes from my workplace. 

The goal of the game? Identify whether each statement was directed at me by a coworker or a student. Guess correctly? Eat one piece of kimchi. Misguided guess? Throw back a shot of soju and relinquish your bimbimbap to the player on your right. 

Here we go:

1. "Vulture is national bird of America, is that right?"

2. "You have Pinocchio nose!"

3. "Do all American rabbit have blue eyes?" 

"I'm from America. Look at me. What color are my eyes?"

"Orange!"

"Yellow!"

4. "Grizzly bear is gray and lives in Antarctica."

5. "You are crazy!"

6. "You are very beautiful."

"Oh, thank you."

"But, you look too Western. Your face is like Greek statue."

"Um . . . Thank you."

"Really? Thank you?"

"No?"

"No."

7. "Your eyes! Scary!"

8. "In America, do all children go to school in yellow bus?"

9. "Ugh. Japanese."

"You don't like the Japanese?"

"No."

"Why?

"Because . . . just . . . Japanese."

10. [In the fall] "Someone took leaves from trees and put them on ground."

11. "'Stuffed animal' is when you put things inside dead animal, right?"

"No, that's called taxidermy."

"Aren't they same thing?"

"Um, no."
