What is your name?
Walking through Chinatown, a tourist is fascinated with all the
Chinese restaurants, shops, signs and banners. He turns a corner and sees a
building with the sign, "Hans Olaffsen's Laundry."
"Hans Olaffsen?", he
muses. "How in hell does that fit in here?" So he walks into the shop and sees
an old Chinese gentleman behind the counter.
The tourist asks, "How did
this place get a name like 'Hans Olaffsen's Laundry?'" The old man answers, "Is
name of owner."
The tourist asks, "Well, who and where is the owner?"
"Me...is right here," replies the old man.
"You? How did you ever get a
name like Hans Olaffsen?"
"Is simple," says the old man. "Many, many
year ago when come to this country, was stand in line at Documentation Center.
Man in front was big blonde Swede. Lady look at him and go, 'What your name?' He
say,'Hans Olaffsen.' Then she look at me and go, 'What your name?'"
"I say Sem Ting."
Visit the barber
A man and a little boy entered a barbershop together. After the man
received the full treatment - shave, shampoo, manicure, haircut, etc. - he
placed the boy in the chair.
"I'm goin' to buy a green tie to wear for
the parade," he said. "I'll be back in a few minutes."
When the boy's
haircut was completed and the man still hadn't returned, the barber said, "Looks
like your daddy's forgotten all about you." "That wasn't my daddy," said the
boy. "He just walked up, took me by the hand and said, 'Come on, son, we're
gonna get a free haircut!'"
My wife is missing
The man approached the very beautiful woman in the large supermarket
and asked, "You know, I've lost my wife here in the supermarket. Can you talk to
me for a couple of minutes?"
"Why?"
"Because every time I talk
to a beautiful woman my wife appears out of nowhere."
