An Italian, a Scotsman, & a Chinese fellow are hired at a construction site. The foreman points to a huge pile of sand & says to the Italian guy, "You're in charge of sweeping." To the Scotsman he says, "You're in charge of shoveling." And to the Chinese guy, "You're in charge of supplies." The foreman then shrugs his beefy shoulders & says, "Now, I have to leave for a little while. I expect you guys to make a good dent in that pile of sand." So the foreman goes away for a couple hours, but when he returns, he sees that the pile of sand is still untouched. He says to the Italian, "Why didn't you sweep any of it?" The Italian replies in a heavy accent, "I no gotta broom. You tella the Chinesea guy he inna charge of a supplies, but hea disappeara, & I coulda no finda him!" Then the foreman turns to the Scotsman & asks, "Didn't I tell you to shovel that sand?" The Scotsman replies in his heavy brogue, "Aye, ye did, laddie, but I couldna get meself a shovel. Ye left the Chinee in charge of supplies, but I couldna find him!" The foreman is really angry now & storms off toward the pile of sand, looking for the Chinese guy. Just then, the Chinese guy springs out from behind the pile of sand and yells, "SUPPLIES!"

When the boss told the Chinese man that he was in charge of supplies, he thought he meant that he was in charge of "surprise", so that's why he jumps out & yells, "SUPPLIES!" I guess the Chinese have a hard time pronouncing their r's. lol

LOL. You tell us how that goes.
I got the joke the first time I read this one because I live in a country where about eighty percent of the people are Chinese. =P Sometimes it's darn confusing, I'm telling you. And a bit weird, too.

Yeah, my Chinese teacher has a rather thick accent. I failed the quiz, apparently because I didn't know what to do. Guess I couldn't understand the instructions. Zhongwén isn't exactly my strongest class. It was. But it isn't. At least she's letting me make it up.
