The waiter asks to take your order and you nervously reply in Chinese, “We will both have the special.” When the waiter leaves the table, your friend asks in Chinese, “Do you even know what the special is?” You look at your friend and say in perfect Chinese, “No.” He laughs and replies in Chinese, “You will like it, but you also have to learn how to act and speak in Chinese restaurants while you are here.” You thank him for his wonderful hospitality, sarcastically of course. After you really do enjoy the special, you wait for your check, but it never comes.
