Whilst discussing Chinese ‘face’ and ‘one upmanship’ with one of my Chinese suppliers he told me a rather funny joke……..
I was in a Chinese railway station and I accidentally stood on a Chinese mans foot.
He said ”I’m Sorry,” I said ”I’m Sorry Too”
He said ”Ha, I’m sorry three” I said ”What are you sorry for”
He said ”Ha, I’m sorry five!”
Admittedly, probably a lot funnier after a few few Chinese beers and plenty of ‘Gam Bay’ which is when I heard it.
