Got this in my email recently:
Why Chinese shouldn't have English names
Caller: Can I speak to Annie Wan?
Operator: Yes, you can speak to me.
Caller: No, I want to speak to Annie Wan!
Operator: You ARE talking to someone! Who is this?
Caller: I'm Sam Wan and I need to talk to Annie Wan. It's very urgent.
Operator: I know you are someone and you need to talk to anyone, but what's this urgent matter about and who does it involve?
Caller: Well, tell my sister, Annie Wan, that our brother Noel Wan has been involved in an accident. Noel Wan is injured and is being sent to the hospital. Avery Wan is on his way to the hospital.
Operator: Look, if no one was injured and no one was sent to the hospital, this isn't an urgent matter. You may find this hilarious, but I seriously don't have time for your jokes.
Caller: You are so rude! What's your name?
Operator: I'm Saw Lee.
Caller: Yes, you should be sorry. Now what's your name!
