John> That reminds me that I saw a mysterious sign on a Catholic church John> today: CHINESE AUCTION TODAY, ADMISSION $3. What on earth is that? It's another example of the English using "Chinese" to indicate variance from a word's normal meaning. At least in this case it's not directly pejorative, unlike, say, "Chinese fire drill", etc. -Mark
