Joke, Joke, Not A Joke in Fact

New Salesman's Quest

Mike applies for a sales job at an upscale manswear store and the manager Tim isn't impressed after viewing his resume.

"Are you making fun of me or making a fool of yourself?" says Tim, "You have no sales experience but you ask for a higher than usual salary."

"I certainly do," replys Mike, "You must understand that the work is so much harder when you don't know what you're doing."

Sunday Time's Gloomy Moment

British Sunday Time published on Sunday an article by a journalist whose main strength seems to be his capability of blending facts with fictions. And he explains what the Chinese slogan on the photo means. "All cooperate as one family under the glorious nationality policy of the party," he said, and had a great time on Sunday mocking China's "glory".

But the Chinese characters in the photo are clearly read: 建设,促进廉洁 ... 党风廉政教育月活动, meaning "the activities in the educational month of promoting the culture of a clean party and honest government."

The meaning of the Chinese characters are clear but the quality of the personal character of this journalist is clearly not.

Then what leaves with the Sunday Time? Maybe it is not just a gloomy moment.
