AltumAngel Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 A man went on a business to China and wanted to buy some gifts for his kids. He went to a shop and found a nice looking CD player. Wary of buying inferior goods, he asked the shopkeeper, 'What would happen if this does not work?' The shopkeeper quietly points to the only sign in English that reads, 'GUARANTEE NO SPOILT'. Feeling assured, he paid for the CD player and returns to his hotel. He tried to use the CD player after returning to the hotel but it would not even switch on. He quickly return to the shop and asked for a refund or an exchange for another unit. When the shopkeeper refuse to give either, the man points to the sign assuring him of a guarantee. The shopkeeper then said, 'Brother, you are in China . We read from the right to the left.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warfie Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 basically it's a dumb joke... if you had it in traditional Chinese "沒有損壞保證" then it would indeed read "Spoilt, no guarantee" (reading right-to-left) but then you'd know that if you could read traditional Chinese... as it is in English, reading 'right to left' it is "TLIOPS ON EETNARAUG" no meaning...
