Chin recently returned from Hawaii where he spent a week teaching classes at a newly opened improv theater there.

Chin: The ethnic make-up of the state is really interesting. There's no real majority. You know, 20% white, 20% asian, 20% native hawaiian. A big balanced mix. And it's the most natural thing in the world. But the weird part is, even with all that mixing of cultures... beginning improv students still start a lot of scenes by saying, "Johnson, get into my office."
Me: They say Johnson?
Chin: They say Johnson.
Me: They don't mix it up by saying, like, "Mekehiki, get into my office?"
Chin: No.
Me: I just made that name up.
Chin: I know.
