Political incorrectness

In the spirit of the Olympics being held in Beijing, and it being a Friday afternoon in the summer and all, I share some stuff from the e-mail bag:

Left is English, right column is Chinese translation. Read them out loud:


That's not right! Sum Ting Wong


Are you harboring a fugitive? Hu Yu Hai Ding


See me ASAP Kum Hia Nao


Small Horse Tai Ni Po Ni


Did you go to the beach? Wai Yu So Tan


I bumped into a coffee table! Ai Bang Mai Ni


I think you need a face lift! Chin Tu Fat


It's very dark in here! Wai So Dim


I thought you were on a diet! Wai Yu Mun Ching


This is a tow away zone! No Pah King


Our meeting is scheduled for next week! Wai Yu Kum Nao


Staying out of sight Lei Ying Lo


He's cleaning his automobile Wa Shing Ka


Your body odor is offensive Yu Stin Ki Pu


Great Su Pa


And some culinary suggestions for the adventurous (I might try the corn, but that's it). I'm glad I'm not at the Olympics.
