Beware of Pickpockets!

Posted on May 4, 2009 at 02:53am

For my first trip to Korea, my family’s homeland, my mother very neatly sowed a ziplock bag filled with three hundred dollars to the crotch of my favorite pair of underwear. When I protested, she said to me, “li-bah-kah! Never trust Korean people!” Then she showed me how to hand wash them every night with ivory soap so that the money wouldn’t get wet.

    No no, the poster meant that her mother sowed the money like seeds. It was so buried into her underwear that next season cash will grow from it. OK, bad joke. But yes, Li-bah-kah is Korean Mother-speak for Rebecca. Also, "never trust korean people" means you shouldn't trust your mom. I'm just sayin'
