overheard in chinatown a few days ago, between ah chek to china lady.
ah chek: “你喜欢女人吗？”
china lady: -mumbles something-
ah chek: “老老的可以吗？”
china lady: “都可以...”
ah chek: ”你老公那条大不大？”
that's when i lost my appetite and fled from the long tableful of people.
i sms-ed this to a friend, and the conversation went like this:
me: “is 你老公那条大不大？” a common question?
chris: ”did someone ask you this?“
me: “nope. that was a conversation between an ah chek and a china lady.”
chris: “我还以为有人这么问你。要是有人这样问你，你叫他等一下然后打电话给我，我下去show他。”
[my expression: O_o]
