Chinese sick leave

Hung Chow calls into work and says, "Hey boss, I no come work today. I really sick. I got headache, stomach ache, and my legs hurt. I no come work."
The boss says, "You know Hung Chow, I really need you today. When I feel like this, I go to my wife and tell her to give me sex. That makes everything better and I go to work. You try that."
Two hours later Hung Chow calls again. "Boss, I do what you say and I feel great. I be at work soon.......... by the way you got nice house." |

That is hilarious. Reminds me of a true story in tech support (it really happened to a friend of mine at UDS -- which later became Motorola -- here in Huntsville circa 1993)..
Anyway, the friend of mine is sitting there performing tech support for UDS modems one day when a call came in;
Ron : "Thank you for calling UDS, how may I help you?"
Caller : "Modem no workee workee, you fixy, no bullshee".
Ron : "Sir?"
Caller : "Modem no workee workee, you fixy, no bullshee".
Ron : "Sir, can you hold for just one moment?"
{Ron quiets everyone and punches the speakerphone button}
Ron : "Sir, I'm sorry for the delay, can you explain exactly what is wrong with your modem so that we might better understand how to begin helping you?"
Caller : "Modem no workee workee, you fixy, no bullshee".
{Ron turns off his microphone, as everyone in the room starts laughing, turns off the speakerphone, then spends the next 30 minutes trying to get the guy to say anything but "Modem no workee workee, you fixy, no bullshee".}
Anyway, turns out that -- like the majority of other calls, the guy simply had the cables crossed, meaning the cable from the wall went into the inlet for the computer and visa versa. Shortly afterwards, UDS started labelling those inlets with simple pictures rather than text and putting the text in big letters in the manual, but amazingly it didn't help much.

Chinese Sick Leave

I rang up our local Chinese take away to complain about our meal.
I said, "Are you Fu King the manager."
"No sir I'm Wang King the cook."
