Some girl comes up to me at the airport in Japan. She was pregnant. She says to me, ‘Can you touch my stomach and bless my baby?’ Sorry? ‘Please touch my stomach and bless my baby.’ Ok… there you go, kid… consider yourself blessed. Then she says… ‘Please can you name my baby?’ What? ‘Please name my baby.’ What now?? Right now?? ‘Yes please.’ Ok… Is it a boy or a girl? ‘Oh, I don’t know yet!!’ Jeez… Meet me half way, eh??
