Here's another funny one....a telephone conversation. A Chinese Call Center....
Caller : Hello, can I speak to Annie Wan?
Operator : Yes, you can speak to me...
Caller : No, I want to speak to Annie Wan!
Operator : Yes, I understand you want to speak to anyone. You can speak to me. Who is this?
Caller : I'm Sam Wan...and I need to speak to Annie Wan! It's urgent.
Operator : I know you are someone and you want to talk to anyone...but what's this urgent matter about?
Caller : Well...just tell my sister Annie Wan that our brother Noe Wan was involved in an accident. Noe Wan got injured and now is being sent to the hospital. Right now, Avery Wan is on his way to the hospital.
Operator : Look, if no one was injured and no one was sent to the hospital...why is everyone rushing to the hospital? Then the accident isn't an urgent matter! You may find this hilarious but I don't have time for this!!!
Caller : You are so rude! Who are you?
Operator : I'm Saw Ree.
Caller : Yes! You should be sorry. Now give me your name!!
Operator : That's what I said. I'm Saw Ree.
Caller : Oh...God...
