Tom Robinson had long wondered about his family tree. He never suspected its roots might lie in the Mongolian Steppe. The Florida accountant knew that his great, great-grandfather had come to the United States from England - but beyond that his research drew a blank...

"You're my new wife?"
"Yes, Hun."
"No, Khan do!"
Oooh, this topic is starting to get goooood.
