Anything? Anything at all!?
Fun with Chinese!
I am a huge fan of the Chinese Buffet. I have one I go to regularly (re: twice a week) where I have a usual table and they know what to bring me to drink. (There’s something very comforting about that kind of service and familiarity, but that’s another post…)
When I eat Chinese I always ue chopsticks. I’m not sure why…it just makes sense. Heck they cut everything in bite sized pieces for a reason!
Anyway, I’ve been meaning to share some chopstick wrapper humor with you, my faithful four ™.
On one side we have this text, presented exactly as it appears:
“Welcome to Chinese Restaurant.
Please try your nice Chinese food with chopsticks.
the traditional and typical of chinese glorious history,
And culture.”
Okay…I’m not exactly sure what that means.
But here’s my favorite. It’s long, but I think it is funnier in context:
[Heading]Learn how to use your chopsticks
[There are three illustrations. They make sense and the instructions do a decent job of describing how to hold chopsticks. Next to each illustration is a bit of text.]Tuck under thumb
and hold firmlyAdd second chopstick
hold it as you hold
a pencilHold the first chopstick
in original position
move second
one up and down.
Now you can pick
up anything.
[emphasis added]
I tried it and I could only pick up small, light items. Like food.. Go Figure.
He-he-he
I am hopelessly inept with chopsticks. However, I do enjoy Chinese food. I don’t get to eat it often enough to suit me.
Hilarious!
I can use chopsticks, but I don’t like ginger so am hampered at Chinese Food restaurants.
So, I’m reading correctly that I can’t use chopsticks to pick up my kids, right?
Yes! ANY-Thing. Why just the other day I needed to help get a car out of a ditch. Did I desapir? No, I simply pulled out my trusty Chopsticks-from-tradition-and-typical-Chinese-Glorious-history! and plucked that car out of there.
Bwaaahahahhahahahahahahhaaahaha!
