Apparently, some people get these. My dad will throw this at his students every year or two, and he'll occasionally get one or two of those students that "get it" (which is really only demonstrable by presenting a self-made 'joke' of the same form). I don't actually understand it either, because whatever relates those two "jokes" is beyond me. |

Probably not. But then again, I might be wrong, so can you enlighten us DD? |

Chinese riddles? THey don't translate. At all. They're based either on the character used for a word, or two completely different words/characters that have the same sound. Like there's a phrase in Mandarin: 不怕一万,只怕万元 It makes reference to fighting an army, saying not to fear(怕) the thousand, only fear ten thousand. but the first character 不 sounds exactly the same as the word 布, which means cloth, and the first of the second phrase 只,sounds the same as 纸 meaning paper. So the question is what is it that paper and cloth fear? Which really doesn't make much sense until you hear it. Or the tone-twister: 4 is 4, 10 is 10, 14 is 14, 40 is 40, 44 is 44. Because the word for 10, and the word 'is' are the same except the tone, and the word for 4 is very similar. 四是四,十是十,十四是十四,四十是四十,四十四是四十四 When I started learning and getting to where all of this made sense, I lost memory of any decent jokes in English that I used to know. |

I'm reminded of that story about that one emperor who was building the great wall, and one of his seers told him that -whatever-they-worshiped said that it could not be completed without 1000 men dying... So, the emperor dude decided he would fix this by finding a dude whose name meant 1000, have him buried alive inside the wall, and thus solve the dilemma and start up construction again. Sucks to be that random dude. Buried alive for his name. (Though they really liked burying people alive in China then - for along time anyone caught napping while working on the Wall got that, not to mention the rebels here and there throughout the dynasties. That's why it's really weak in some places. All those dudes were in the foundation and decomposing.) |

I'm not surprised. I'm guessing it was actually 10000 though, as that 'number' 万 also happens to be a Chinese surname (the one I use, in fact). |
