An American and a Japanese were sitting on the plane on the way to LA

when the American turned to the Japanese and asked, "What kind of - ese are you?" The Japanese confused, replied, "Sorry but I don't understand what

you mean."

The American repeated, What kind of -ese are you?"

Again, the Japanese was confused over the question.

The American, now irritated, then yelled, "What kind of -ese

are you . Are you a Chinese, Japanese,Vietnamese!, etc......???" The Japanese then replied, "Oh, I am a Japanese." A while later the Japanese turned to the American and asked: What kind of 'kee' are you.

The American, frustrated, yelled, "What do you

mean what kind of ' kee' am I?!"

The Japanese said, "Are you a Yankee, donkee,

or monkee?
