IMO, Mormons played a big role in Japanese GAIJIN history. They were famous for asking people on streets "Anataha Kami wo Shinjimasuka?" (Do you believe in God?). And this phrase was most often used when Japanese comedian try to imitate weird Japanese spoken by foreigners. Next proof: I was grown up in middle-size town in South Kyushu area. Among not so many foreigners there, most well-known GAIJIN were two Mormon young men. As for Dave Spector, I must say I love his terrible jokes. I think he is intelligent. -- $@0f>e(J $@9n8J!w#T#C#I(J -- >>> f r e e <<<
