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.

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*

"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."

Interviewer: what weighs more, 100 pounds of steel or a 100 pound woman
Man: 100 pound woman
Interviewer: why?
Man: steel does not lie, if it's 100 lbs it's 100 lbs. If a woman says she is 100 lbs, she is probably 150.
Every time my boyfriend Joe comes home from work he has to tell me the latest celebrity news he heard on the radio on his journey in the car from work.
Tonight Joe came busting through the door and without even a hello he said the following .
"It was on the news tonight that Amber Heard is pregnant with twins and Charlie Sheen is the father"
Then after a huge pause Joe continued with.
"Don't you think it's weird they have decided the twins will have Charlie's surname"
And I replied with
"Well I was always told Children should be Sheen and not Heard"
