Don’t believe everything you read. If there’s anything you might take away after reading this column, I hope you believe that simple fact.
Hmm…I think there’s something wrong with my point, but I just can’t put my finger on it.
Anyways, the point I was trying to make is about how in this day and age, the internet allows anyone who has a keyboard to write just about anything they’d like for public consumption, which makes it tougher for everyone to discern fact from fiction.
Case in point: The mystery of the genetic robo super-chicken.
My father is a very educated and wise man. He came to this country from China nearly penniless, and yet he’s gone on to become a respected university professor, written a text book, and owned several businesses. He and my mother managed to raise my brother and I, support us through college and send us on our way to make our own lives.

About the Book
The Problem With Being Perfect is a book of secrets. Most of these secrets fall into one of the following two categories:
1. Things I’ve done that make me look like an idiot which I’d rather not share with family and friends but don’t mind sharing with people who don’t know me and have no idea where I live.
2. Things my friends and family have done that would make them look like idiots which I can’t mention in front of them because they do know where I live.
May I also emphasize that in no way, shape or form, do any of the embarrassing stories I tell have anything to do with my wife. Even though some of the stories may seem like they could only come from my wife, and even if from time to time I actually refer to the person as “my wife”, I completely disavow any knowledge or any belief that the person in question, is in fact, my wife. If, in reading this book, you come across the words, “my wife”, please replace them with the words, “amazing human being.”
