Years ago I worked with an odd Chinese woman who tended to laugh at inappropriate times (I think this may be a Chinese thing).

At one point (for some reason) I mentioned pumpkins, which I consider a very New England type of vegetable and I said that she may not have eaten one -- "Oh no!" she said, "In China we grew many pumpkins! My district in China was famous for pumpkins! My grandfather grew more pumpkins than anyone else in our village!"

Then she started giggling and added "That's why they killed him."
