Usually, a rather eldery man "guards" my flat building, but sometimes, the happiest woman in the world does the job. This woman likes me to an inexplicably high degree. I greet her with the usual "jo sun" (good morning) and "lay ho ma" (how are you?) and she grins and says "jo sun" at least 6 times before I walk out the door. It's all very nice and brightens my day.
WELL....one afternoon, I said something profound to her--like, "Hello, the weather is hot right now," which apparently led her to believe that I spoke fluent Cantonese, because she started talking very fast, with grand gestures. In my state of shock, I simply responded to everything she said with "high-a" (yeah) and an affirmative nod.
I can't be sure, but it's possible that I agreed to wear a puffy shirt.

Please post picture with puffy shirt on.
I'm sure you have one already. Pilfered from my closet, no doubt.
I saw an actual pirate yesterday. In a puffy shirt. And knee-high boots. And a dangly gold earring. I was a little disappointed that it was not you.
haha!
