Two Chinese professors...

Post by Cybrludite »

(Stolen from Facebook)

A pair of college professors in China, Dr Minh, PhD history specializing in the antebellum American south; and Dr. Hu, PhD entymology were fast friends, and had decided to immigrate to the United States after their retirement and buy an old plantation property to restore and farm (with paid labor, these being more modern times.)
Minh, being older, had retired first and gone to America, searching out the property and spending most of their shared funds restoring it and getting a crop planted and growing.
One day, near harvest time, it was discovered the crops were in danger by a mysterious and very fast moving bug. Minh ordered his men to trap samples of the insect for examination. The bugs, being very fast, resisted all attempts at capture until one enterprising soul lured some of them into a fireplace in a disused outbuilding and trapped them there.
The men reported success trapping some to Dr Minh, and he immediately started dialing Dr Hu. The men objected, saying that they still hadn't actually collected the samples. Minh waved them off, saying "Hu knows what weevil lurks in the hearths of Minh."

However, during the phone conversation, Hu demurred; "See no weevil, hear no weevil......."

After capturing a couple of specimens, Dr. Minh discovered that Chinese customs would only allow the import of one bug, Dr. Minh wrote to Dr. Hu, asking which one he should send for analysis. Dr. Hu told him to send the smaller one, "For in science, one must always choose the lesser of two weevils."

COMRADES! ALL GOOD CITIZENS SHOULD ENTREAT TOGETHER TO BOO THIS MAN!

(The only good point to studying Chinese history: getting to show that Communism is even more ridiculous than the Imperial systems preceding it)

Neverr. As a callow youth I once read Ben Franklin sewed fish hooks in his pockets. I immediately got the point.
