When he arrived home, Big Daddy had lots of gifts. Knock-off Ping golf clubs (full set with driver, putter, bag and shoes - $112), knock-off Ralph Lauren clothes for the kids (6 pieces for $20), knock off True Religion jeans ($22!) and some cute solar powered toys for the kiddles. But he also got me a great traditional Chinese style shirt with the high collar. Red, the traditional Chinese color, with Chinese writing. It's beautiful. It's perfect. It's just what I wanted.
There's just one problem...
What are the chances?
(I also suspect that somewhere in China, a bunch of clothing vendors are laughing their butts off because the "Chinese writing" on the shirt is actually just a bunch of scribbles, the kind I would make if someone said, "Here, make some Chinese symbols for this shirt." As they drink their Oolong tea, the vendors are giggling, "How many American tourists do you think we can fool with this shirt?" "Arr of them!" the another one chuckles. Touché, China. Touché.)

That's hysterical! Hey great time at dinner at last night, hope you weren't too late for your dance lesson!
First!!! Dance lesson from Mellissa.. Jelous
Second, rofl
So, China is outsourcing now too?!?!
That's funny!
well, i'm sure you can find a "made in china" blouse here in the states.
I'm diggin' your Chinese accent!
You're killing me, 'rove' the accent!
Ok, so it took me a minute to understand you with your accent. It was so deep that I had to think for a bit.
I bet the shirt just says---"My husband went to China and all he brought back was this red shirt!"
Beautiful Chinese/Thai shirt ! Do you have anyone you know who could read it to make sure it's not just squiggles or something obscene?
That is priceless!
If it weren't so funny it would be really lame!
I'd like to think its Chinese curse words all over the shirt. Kinda like saying "f-you" all over it. Too funnY!
That is too funny! I agree with you though because I had a necklace with Japanese writing on it one time, and we also, at the time had a Japanese exchange student who interpreted this to say "eyebrow" Nice... I was wearing a necklace around that said eyebrow. I won't buy anything I can't read anymore.
I thought everything was made in Vietnam?
