Joke

A businessman hears that his Chinese partner is in hospital.
So he goes to visit him on the ICU, where he finds him in a desolate state.
The man whispers "yang tong xia" in a hoarse voice, but the businessman doesn't speak chinese. Again the patient mumbles "yang tong xia" and then passes away.
This is a real shock, but the business-world being what it is, our gentleman soon overcomes his grief, and continues his international trading.
Months later he meets a man who speaks both English and Chinese fluently and asks him what "yang tong xia", the last words of his dying partner, means.
"That's weird" says the guy, sounds like "get off o' the oxygen tube".

Maybe the Chinese man spoke English but reverted to his native tongue because he was so ill ?

Just change the characters to... a man visits his dying Chinese wife....

then ask: If they were married, why didn't they understand each other?

... that's why

Hey, that's funny. I just had a thought. The Delcamp classical guitar site has a running thread for years entitled "Joke of the Day." So there's a constant stream of funny stuff. Maybe we could start the same thread here.

Here's my contribution for today:

My credit is so bad, they don't even take CASH from me.

Ah the sick Hospital jokes Ed...

The one I liked was about the guy who went to the Fertility Clinic and the nurse hands him a bottle and shows him into a room to "produce a sample".

10 minutes later she comes back and knocks on the door and asks if he's finished yet.

"Not yet", comes a small voice from within.

So 10 minutes later she comes back again and enquires again.

"Not yet, I'm afraid"..comes the reply.

So she returns with some "top shelf" magazines and knocks on the door and puts them discreetly on the floor saying "no luck yet? Maybe these will help?"

10 minutes later she comes back and says " I'm really very sorry Mr. Smith, but it might be best if you reschedule another appointment as we are running late today and really need the room..."

A few minutes later the guy comes out the door, all red faced and sweating and apologising as he hands over the bottle which contains the required sample...

"Oh..that's excellent Mr. Smith...so we finally got there?", she exclaims.

"Got there?", he says....

"Oh sorry... I completely misunderstood...I thought I had to fill it to the top...."

cheers,

Ron
