Ivo, did we all tap into a minefield or just me? I could live with that

Which brings me to mention Barry's favourite story (at the risk of having to Cafe myself!!!) of a lady whose hobby was knitting, and who went for a meal in a Chinese restaurant. Always looking for new ideas for her knitted jumpers she was taken with the Chinese characters on the menu so jotted them down intending to use them in her next pattern. She proudly wore the resulting jumper on a subsequent visit to another Chinese restaurant and was startled to find the Chinese owner, his staff and other Chinese customers were visibly amused. When she asked why, he asked her where the pattern had come from so she explained about the nice characters on the menu which she had copied. The owner gently explained to her that what she had actually copied and was wearing emblazoned on her chest was...  "This dish is very tasty and cheap."

Quite good. Like the guy who brought back a pretty tie with Chinese characters from a visit to Hong Kong.  No one would tell him what it said, so it took him three years before someone told him it said "all white men are pigs"

i´ve heard similar stories here about tattoos!!! (which are of course
a bit harder to remove than a tie)
