I was re-reading the book Thick Face Black Heart by Chin-Ning Chu when I came across this (unintentionally) funny sentence: These simply rules of discrimination are common among the world's businessmen and political leaders, as well as among Chinese dogs. Apparently the author doesn't think very much of businessmen and political leaders!

Bad Puns
Warming: Using these puns may get you seriously injured. ("In Jured? Where's Jured?") Lying in bed at night, I swore to tell the truth one day. In two years, I have ear wax. "You very mean, ah!"
