Dunno what it had to do with international development. I talked to a woman about Utah for a minute, a guy about Idaho for a minute, and then listened to a woman complain about Canada and how she wanted to go home. Well, I did talk to a guy who worked for Citibank in Japan and he was pretty interesting, but I also met an attractive Russian woman and told her the Russian phrase that seems to piss off everyone I tell it to. People are usually expecting some sort of rude cursing, but mine is from a James Bond novel. &#8220;Smyert Spionim.&#8221; I think it means, &#8216;death to spies,&#8221; but it&#8217;s probably much worse since it pisses off most people I tell it to. It&#8217;s my social experiment.<\/p>\n<p>So, I think I annoyed the attractive woman in like 2.5 minutes. If I take that to be about average, that means if I ever go on speed dating where you get 8 minutes, I&#8217;ll have 5.5 minutes of awkward silence per woman. Or 5.5 minutes of recovery time between the time I get socked in the nose and the time I get to start annoying the next woman. Take your pick.<\/p>\n<p>And I took the Asshole\/Bitch test, and I guess I&#8217;m three-quarters asshole. Not that anyone is surprised. <\/p>\n<div style=\"font-family:verdana;font-size:10px;width:150px;BORDER: 1px solid;PADDING: 5px;BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffc933; TEXT-ALIGN: left\">\n<div align=\"center\" style=\"margin-bottom:5px; font-size:12px;\" nowrap><b>I am 75% Asshole\/Bitch.<\/b><\/div>\n<p>I am one of those people that love to hear the sound of their voice.
