>>Oh, I know all about Rowan Atkinson, thanks to the movie. You would be surprised how often I have gotten the "Mr. Bean!" line. Also String Beane, Lima Beane, etc. etc. etc. (Even Les Beane in one memorable instance, although I believe that is anatomically impossible). It's not a big deal but be thankful your name is Ryan.

>When I was teaching, there was a colleague named Subotić, who greeted me with "morning, neighbor" even though he lived some 20km away. Why? Well, subota is Saturday, nedelja is Sunday... and we couldn't form a club, because there was nobody named Petković (petak - Friday). Though, the staff room chief's first name was Sredoje (sreda - Wednesday), but we didn't really take him into consideration.
There really isn't anything like a Subotić-nedelja joke, LOL.
You haven't said a lot in the immigration discussion. Do you have no thoughts or too many?
