[apocalypsos]

The girl who works with me in the office (and is the ONLY person who works with me in the main office) is out today. *whimpers* In related stress, if Bossman could stop lugging packages into my office and telling me exactly how to research them, that'd be nice. Nice of you to try and help, but I know what I'm doing, 'kay? Thanks bunches. *sigh*

Also, I was flipping through the menu to the Chinese place (which I've really never looked at because I only order the same thing every time) and I saw this under "Chef's Recommendations" --

Our chef have decades of experience and come from sichuan province of china, he's make "authentic sichuan food" that is a special cooking style, form sichuan in china, and you can hardly found in the neighborhood

Uh ... hmm. *stares*

Heh, when I was in college my mother used to write a note and include it with a check. She could speak English well, but her writing was so bad it was hysterical. She stopped writing the notes when she found out I'd read them to the folks in the dorm for a laugh.

I hope he/they cook better than they write, at least!

i will point out that finding standardized ways of romanizing various chinese words almost always have five to seven differnt ways of doing it...

i mena...you say bejing, i say peking...

but it is amusing, though prolly closer to the actual pronounciation.

(adopts Boring Little Man voice and horn-rimmed specs) No, no, you're all missing the point. The nub or crux of the humorous anecdote in question, you see, is that on a restaurant menu under the heading of Chef's Recommendations one usually finds a selection of particular dishes which the chef thinks we will enjoy more than others. Whereas here, *giggle* amusingly enough, the restaurateur has taken the phrase to mean--

Hahaha! I LOVE reading Asian menus that try to write in English. They amuse me.

(yes, I know I'm evil...)
