Topic: Chinese Sick Leave

[Clive]

Hung Chow calls into work and says, 'Hey, I no come work Today, I really sick . Got headache, stomach ache and legs hurt, I no come work.'
 
The boss says, 'You know something, Hung Chow, I really need you today. When I feel sick like you do, I just go to my wife and tell her to give me sex. That makes everything better and then I go to work. You try that.'

Two hours later Hung Chow calls again. 'I do what you say and I feel great. I be at work soon.........
And You got very nice house'

True story: Many years ago I did quite a bit of electrical for a chinese family in Wrexham. Some time later I went into their takeaway fo a meal and the owner behind the counter said "Cooker gone, cooker gone". I asked why is she telling me because all the cookers there are gas. She said " No, no cooker gone, cooker has gone back to China, he gone".
