nice joke
the rag-doll joke was great. it wasn't merely funny, situation-wise, on it's own, but also serves to remind us how ignorant americans are when it comes to names, places, cultures that are foreign to them. the lady at the bank couldn't even understand the name at first, let alone pronounce it correctly.
it must be really tough for certain minorities when they constantly have to pronounce or spell their names over and over again, in order to be called...by their name!
