a chinese mixup

May 28th, 2007 Stephen Lau

Question: In what language can the question:

“Do you know where WuFenPu (a shopping market) is?”

be accidentally mis-pronounced as:

“Do you know where I farted?”

Answer: Chinese

And, for what it’s worth, the response from the girl I asked it to was as you would expect.

sigh. Never underestimate my ability to make a fool of myself in any country, in any language, at any time.
