A 70-year old
Chinese physicist, who is widely
praised for knowing everything except
physics, recently gave some talks on
environmental issues, such as
recycling energy. "Any energy
that cannot be recycled cannot be
called energy," declared he,
stately.
So he
promoted the use of hydraulic power,
and urged to blow up the Himalaya
Mountain with nuclear bomb to
redirect the water to the
drought-stricken regions in the
north.
When asked
how any decent human being can ever
come up with such a horrible idea, he
replied with a towering inspiration:
"What is
that famous saying, ‘天下*亡，老夫有责’ … oh,
no, that actually is ‘亡天下，老夫有责’ … nay,
still doesn’t sound right, hmm, let
me try this, ‘老夫有责亡天下’ … well,
roughly like this … like this…"
He put his leg on the arm of his
chair, and kept swinging it to
distract people’s attention.
His wife, who
was allegedly his staunch supporter,
wasn’t too impressed with him this
time, and scolded her man:
"亡天下是流芳百世的大事业，何苦作此羞羞答答的鬼样子 !"
He blushed
with shame and thanked his wife,
"Yes, yes, you’re right here,
darling, I believe I’ll be forever
remembered with horror… no, no …
with honour."
