"I just split up with my girlfriend, but like the Japanese say, "There'll be another one floating by any minute now."

"Japan called me. They said "maybe those jokes are a hit in the US, but over here, they're all sinking."

"What do the Japanese have in common with @howardstern? They're both radio active."

"Japan is really advanced. They don't go to the beach. The beach comes to them."
