Incident 4
Colleague: *talking about Da Chang Jin*
Me: I don’t know what it’s about. I hardly watch television these days.
Colleague [abruptly]: Huh?
Me [startled]: Huh?

Me: [tentatively]: I hardly watch any television these days?
Colleague: Ohhhhh…. *mutters* I thought you said there are no technicians today.
Me: >.
