I've heard stories about altercations between Koreans and foreigners. Sometimes the foreigners had been disrespectful, had too much to drink, or had been in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I'd like to reduce my chances of an altercation by wearing something that says, "Hey, you don't want to mess with me." What do you recommend that I wear?

1. A red leather jacket - like the one Michael Jackson had in his "Beat It" video.

2. An Iron Maiden shirt with Eddie on it.

3. A tee shirt with the Kobra Kai logo on it. (From the movie The Karate Kid.)

Thanks!

I always like to wear the t-shirt from Happy Gilmore that has the slogan "Guns don't kill people, I kill people"

Nobody will *beep* with you.....except all the people who can't read english Laughing

Paste OREO� cookies on your body. That sends a clear and definite message.

Eggs may be more apropos for some.

Is this:




What you meant by "You ain't seen nothin' yet?" I am un-appalled. In fact, I am absolutely plussed. Raise the bar, Sir.

Have some respect, sir. You are dissing an avatar of long-standing veneration.

Thank you! And also, 'Wow!' I like it when Old Skool speaks up and rememberz. I have seen two... I think two favourable comments about that avatar when I used to use it, and another one or two via PM. Posters in the day identified with it, and it with me. And they said so on those occasions I just mentioned. It pleases me.

Your students seem to hunger for manners. And discipline.

You've gone native. Please see the cultural relativism thread.

What happens when you get married, do you just cross out the GF part and add wife-u?
