«It is a strange thing about Swedish people,» Chiun said.

«What is?» Remo asked.

«They all look alike.»

«I allowed him to.»

«Why?» Remo asked.

«Because I promised his brother I would treat Mm with respect.»

Remo searched Chiun's face. «Good for you,» he said. «Toop, toop, toop.»

«What is this toop, toop, toop?» Chiun asked. «The sound of one hand clapping, of course.»
