Joke

First post of 2009 shall begin with a joke.

A Taiwanese man with very poor, practically no knowledge of English once visited the US.
His name happened to be Teng Xiao Ping.

At the Immigration desk, the officer asked him a few questions to verify his true intentions of coming to the US :-

First he was asked, "What is the last name of our first President?"
Not knowing English neither what was the question, he guessed they must have asked him for his family name. So he replied,"Wa Sing Teng" (in Hokkien meaning My Last Name is Teng).

The officer heard "Washington" (same sound) so passed him of the first question.

Second question was, "What do you intend to do in the US?" This time the Taiwanese thought, naturally he would be asked of his first name.

So he replied, "Xiao Ping." The officer heard "Shopping", so nodded and proceeded with his third question.

"What car do you drive back home?"

The tourist thought he was asked of his marital status, so he exclaimed, "Wa Bo Bo!" (in Hokkien meaning I don't have a wife).
And the officer heard "Volvo".So he smiled with pleasure and asked another question.

The fourth question was, "Who is the most popular basketball player here in the US?"

By this time our Taiwanese friend was getting a bit impatient and annoyed hence shouted, "Mai Ho Wa Ja Dan. ("meaning don't let me wait here).
The officer heard, "Michael Jordan!".

With great appreciation for this tourist's wide knowledge about the US, the officer let him through without further harassment.
