    Did you see that newscaster gulp in relief after she pronounced Fuk correctly? Watch her Adam's apple.

    In the early 60s the Big Island wasn't the urbane metropolis of today. I noticed one shack shop with a big sign across its front in capital letters, proclaiming the owner to be Ah Fook. In 4 years of Hawaii I saw several Fuks and a couple of Fooks, but this was the only one with an Ah. (In Brooklyn they would pronounce it R.)

    Korean news channel displays bogus American pilot names in regards to the Southwest plane crash at LaGuardia yesterday.

    The limitation with the Koreans is they used actual names. The American pranksters just used words that sounded eastern Asian (most sounded Chinese rather than Korean to me) and made them names.

    An example of what was done would be if it were done in Spain. "Ho Lee Fuk" would roughly be "Joder" in Spanish. If they said one of the pilots was named "Hoe Dare", it would be akin to the same thing.
