<< I have 2 words for you
Howard Stern out, Adam Carolla in >>

I'm reminded of a conversation I overheard back when I lived in Boulder CO and was going to the University of Colorado.  A group of friends I hung out with were all roommates and all into Kung Fu.  One of them in particular, Ethan, loved Chinese food and ate it almost all the time.  One morning, waking up on their floor (long story) I over heard Ethan and Diana (one of the roommates) talking and their conversation went sort of like this:

Diana: Ugh, you're eating Chinese food again?
Ethan: Yup.
Diana: Its breakfast.
Ethan: Yup.
Diana: Who eats Chinese food for breakfast?
Ethan: Duh, the CHINESE!
Diana: [silence]
Ethan: A billion Chinese people can't be wrong.

The conversation basically ended there but I just couldn't help but laugh.  

Which begs the question; What the fuck do Chinese people eat for breakfast?  Has anyone gone to a Chinese restaurant for breakfast?  Perhaps they have a breakfast menu that we just haven't seen or maybe they just eat off of the lunch menu.  It's not that far fetched, the only difference between the lunch and dinner menu is price and portion size.

It just makes you wonder.
