A Chi=
nese man comes to Los Angeles for a holiday. He arrives at LAX and gets a c=
ab to take him to his hotel. On the way he sees a few buses, and he says to=
the taxi driver: "The buses here are so noisy and really slow… In C=
hina the buses are very fast!" The taxi driver says nothing.
Later the Chinese tourist sees a marina with a f=
ew boats sailing by. He comments again to the driver: "The boats here =
are so slow… in China the boats are very fast!" The driver kept sile=
nt and drove.
When they get to the hote=
l, the Chinese tourist gets out of the taxi and asks for the meter reading.=
The driver calmly tells him the price, and the man is startled. "Are =
you kidding?" he yells, "Your buses are so slow, the boats are so=
slow. If everything else here is so slow then how come the meter of your t=
axi is so fast?!?"
The driver give=
s him a smile and says: "It’s made in China!"
