Today I went for an interview, the boss said
"You're dark, ugly and fat, where are you from?" I didn't want to give a bad impression of Jiangxi, so I said I'm from Hunan.
*background*
A son takes his uncultured rural dad around the city for the first time
At the tea shop:
Dad: what is this?
Son: it's bubble tea
Dad: how much?
Son: 22 yuan
Dad: 22 yuan? Better off buying nice alcohol at that price
At the museum:
Son: excuse me, how much for a ticket?
Clerk: 60 yuan
Son: do you have other options?
Clerk: 50 for a simple ticket, 100 for all inclusive
Son: we'll take 2
Dad: son! It's too expensive. Let's go home and look at the mountain valley Instead. Come on, go go.
Son: Dad, come back. Quickly, come on! *To clerk* sorry. My dad is from the countryside, very frugal. We'll come another time.
At the restaurant:
Son: we'll take the check! How much?
Waiter: 117 yuan
Dad: how much??
Son: 117 yuan
Dad: at that price, we should be eating dragon! *Walks out*
Son: sorry my dad is from the countryside, very frugal. Let me pay before we go.
At the massage parlor:
Son: how much for a foot or body massage?
Masseuse: 69 or 109 yuan depending on massage
Dad: what?
Son: Dad, don't worry. *To masseuse* my dad is from the countryside, very frugal.
Dad: Give me the most expensive massage!
Son: *internal horror*
"A supervillain called. He wants restitution for me ruining his evil plans. I told him that's hard to do if the assassins get rid of me."
"We had a talk. He said he needs a dark, evil cult leader to rule the world. I told him I wanted a sinless sandwich."
"He wanted my soul, but it's not for sale. He sent a few femme fatales my way. So, a Mister Rogers friendly wave post-assassination fail later, and they had more sadness than if they looked like Lady Elaine from his show."
"So then he tried to make me a deal: my soul for all the power in the world... No deal."
"What is it with these salesdemons coming up and knocking on my door? I'd rather knock on their heads with my fist. Since they can't get enough entertainment to go knock themselves out someplace else, apparently—unlike that Muay Thai guy."
"They asked me to 'come to the dark side; we have cookies!' I said my side has cookies and milk. They said they have chocolate milk. I said, 'No, I don't need caffeine. I will enjoy my non-caffeinated white chocolate instead.'"
"I reminded them that skipping out on eating your vegetables is for losers."
"They tried to call me a 'goody-two-shoes.' Were they expecting ratty shoes to match their motives? I'm no Boy Scout: I don't use profanity, nor do I act like an undisciplined hothead that lost the forest for the trees."
"They tried to taunt me by saying I am alone. I said, 'Figures. Of course my skills are completely beyond your league.'"
"They said they will get me. I said, 'What, an apology note and a sack of ten million gold coins saying, "We are sorry! No more temptations"? Fat chance... As in, a bloated, egotistical fighter's chance of defeating a slim, Type IIx muscle-fiber trained Special Forces member is higher than yours of winning me over.'"
"people said I would be great at stand-up comedy, but I prefer to sit down when cracking jokes."
