It's also cool that the Navy man handing out the manga book is being so polite (holding it with both hands, bowing slightly).

I go to a mall/grocery store that's in a nearby town that's almost entirely Japanese (Edgewater). When you buy something there, that's the polite way to exchange documents and credit cards. If I spend a couple of hours there, I start doing that when I go back to Hoboken, which can be confusing..

Solomon, it's not confusing for Zinn. He enjoys being stuck, that way he doesn't have to think.
