On my very first visit to a country of whatever-whatever, a hontojii-san immigrant official stopped me by and asked:

Hontojii-san: Please tell me the truth!

Reak: My name is Vireak and I come from Cambodia.

Hontojii-san: Please tell me the truth!

Reak: I don’t have beard, so I’m neither from Pakistan nor India.

Hontojii-san: Please tell me the truth!

Reak: My name has no letter “Q”, so I’m not linked to IraQ and Al Qaeda, neither was I born in Suadi Arabia.

Hontojii-san: Please tell me the truth!

Reak: Your president Bush praised me for my role in his global war against terrorism when he visited my home last year.

Hontojii-san: Bush? Never heard of that guy!

Reak: Are you sure? Please tell me the truth!

Hontojii-san: I told you. I don’t lie.

Reak: Please tell me the truth!

Hontojii-san: You can search me inside or hang me to dry!

Reak: Please tell me the truth!

Hontojii-san: I’ve got nothing to hide.

Reak: Please tell me the truth!

Hontojii-san: Oh my!

Reak: Please tell me the truth!

Hontojii-san: You must be a spy!

Reak: Please tell me the truth!

Hontojii-san: You must be a hontojii-san in disguise!
