This past summer, I spent an hour or so watching and listening to Robin
Williams at a comedy marathon at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.  Most
of his jokes were about kids -- especially HIS child.  The only one who
could have gotten offended by his jokes was Dolly Parton; he made a few
jokes about how HER kid would react to its first feeding ("Wow!  Kilimanjaro!").

I wasn't aware that Dolly Parton was Asian.
