Trivia

Q. What’s the only street in London where you drive on the right?

A. Savoy Court off the Strand on the way to the Savoy Theatre and Savoy Hotel.

Q. The typical Chinese working man until 1911 shaved the top of his head and wore the rest of his hair braided into a queue down the back of his neck. But the women didn’t. Why not?

A. They refused - that’s all. Manchu emperors ordered it of all subjects in 1644. The men complied. The women nodded, smiled, but did nothing. The emperors finally gave up on them, saying, “You know women,” or some such.
