HEY! Pass the Lemote Con! This show is horrible!
I'm still trying to figure out why they chose to shorten the long English words "remote control" to simply "remote con." I definitely prefer the shortened English version "remote." It's faster, easier, and makes more sense. But this is Korea, where people do things all the time that don't make sense. For example, just a while ago, a friend told us about this older man he saw walking down the street with a surgical mask on his face to filter the pollution out of the air. Strange you think? Not so much, the air is pretty bad here. No, the strange thing is that he had the mask pulled down under his chin so he could smoke a cigarette! I guess he wanted to choose his own pollution.
I saw another guy, a westerner this time, walking down the street with a cigarette in one hand and a Coke Zero in the other. He doesn't mind dying early from cancer, but he'll be darned if he doesn't fit into his own coffin.
Yes, this is a wondrous country we currently live in.
Do you have any ironic stories? Have you seen any contrary people lately?
