Apparently I’m a thief. Yesterday afternoon I went into our supply/mail room and the girl who handles mail and supplies was in there with her back to me and I shouted “supplies!” and made her jump. I’ve been informed my joke was in the movie, UHF, which I have not seen. When I thought to tweet one Japanese guy, I figured it would be funnier to say several, so I went with four.  In the movie clip I was shown it’s four people, unless there are more behind the guys screaming. My first wife is from Taiwan.  She’s 1/4 Japanese.  I thought of this same joke way back then. I even used it with my kids. So, it appears I lifted the joke (innocently), but nonetheless people who like to nail thieves have been all over it.  I should have Googled. Those who have followed me for some time are well aware I don’t steal tweets or jokes, and those who do not or have not followed me don’t know any better. Appearances are deceiving. I won’t delete it, because it was coincidence, but if you want to withdraw your stars, RTs and trophies I’ll understand. Thanks. Bob
