He turned and blew the smoke away from me.
"That's the good thing about being an immigrant," he said. "You can always tell people what you were in your home country."
"But you're pulling their legs?" I said.
"Never," he said. "Well, actually, in my home country I was one of the country's greatest leg-pullers. I won a competition. The National Leg-Pulling Championship."
