Wong Chow calls into work and says, 'I no come work today, I really sick. Got headache, stomach ache and legs hurt, I no come work.' The boss says, 'You know something, Wong Chow, I really need you today. When I feel sick like you do, I go to my wife and tell her to give me sex. That makes everything better and I go to work.. You try that.' Two hours later Wong Chow calls again. 'I do what you say and I feel great... I be at work soon.....You got nice house.'
LOL That's about how swell some of the conversations at my work are understood. You learn fast things are taken literally by those who are unfamiliar with humor in the US
