He immediately took over, but in the most playful way, you wouldn’t believe it.

I saw Robin Williams do that around 1991 during a bike race in San Francisco. The emcee at the start line got him on the mic and tried to do an impromptu interview, RW instead launched into a Tour de France race announcer impersonation that was completely unintelligible, but he got the crowd rolling in laughter.

I (am of Chinese descent) have spent a good amount of time in small towns in the South—the reactions have been quite amusing. It's difficult to get services from small shops like barbers; empty shops frequently said "we're booked" when they simply didn't want to deal with me. While going for a jog, cars kept pulling over asking if I needed a ride (so nice!), one guy tailed me and called the sheriff—luckily the officer was a black gentleman and knew a thing or two about profiling. The curiosity was always fun, at a dinner party, I was cornered by a few "ladies of a certain age" dressed to the nines who said, "are you single? I have a daughter and I've hear Oriental gentlemen were very respectful to parents." I was not single, yes her daughter was hot.

I used to have knee pain in my 30s, then I started yoga and it went away. I'm in my 40s now, running marathons and doing muay thai along with Bikram yoga.

If I didn't keep mine in the fridge and out of sight, I'd just drink it.

Increased chance of hemorrhoids is what I hear most often. I used a squat toilet for #2 once when traveling. After removing all my clothes because I Was paranoid about anything getting near the poop, I squatted down and had the most incredibly easy and clean bowel movement ever. I don't have problems being regular, but the pressure against the abdomen from squatting naturally evacuated me and I didn't have to push and wiggle to get that last bit out. Nowadays at home on a sit-down toilet, I try to simulate that pressure by crossing my arms at my stomach and bending to get additional pressure. There are companies that make steps that go on the side of a sit-down toilet too, so you can have elevated feet and get that squat position.
