During a business trip to China, a man wanted to buy some
gifts for his kids. So he went to a shop and found a nice looking CD player. But
wary of buying inferior goods, he asked the shopkeeper, “What will happen if
this does not work?” The shopkeeper quietly pointed to the only sign in English
that read, “GUARANTEE NO SPOILT.”
Feeling assured, the man paid for the CD player and returned
to his hotel. A few minutes after returning to the hotel, he tried to use the
CD player but it would not even switch on. He quickly returned to the shop and
asked for a refund or an exchange for another unit. When the shopkeeper refused
to give either, the man pointed to the sign assuring him of a guarantee. The
shopkeeper then said, “Brother, you are in China. We read from the right to the
left.”
