Quote:It's a joke on me; I introduce myself and immediatly say i'm not German. A fellow once mistook me for one after looking at "Herr" in my name and I've made a point to say I'm not actually from a German-speaking country.That's like a professor who just assumed that I was smart by my name. He was an old professor, kind of forgetful, so when I talked to him a year later, he thought our class together was four years earlier, and he remembered me as one of his smartest students ever. Coincidentally, this professor's name is Bzymek, originally from Germany.

I know that you saw me.
