A Chinese moves to USA after 50 years of living in Shanghai.
He bought a home on a small piece of land.
The friendly American neigh- bor decides to go across and wel- come the new guy.
He goes next door but on his way up the drive- way he sees the Chinese man run- ning around his front yard chasing about 10 hens. Not wanting to interrupt these 'Chinese cus- toms', he decides to put the wel- come on hold for the day.
Next day he decides to try again, but just as he is about to knock on the front door, he looks through the win- dow & sees the Chinese urinate into a glass & then drink it.
Not wanting to interrupt another 'Chinese custom', he decides to put the welcome on hold for yet anoth- er day.
decides to give it one last go, but on his way next door, he sees the China-man lead- ing a bull down the drive way ..pause.. & then put his left ear next to the bull's butt.
The American bloke can't handle this, so he goes up to the China- man & says, "Jeez Mate, what the hell is it with your Chinese cus- toms? I come over to welcome you to the neigh- borhood & see you running around the yard after hens. The next day you are pissing in a glass & drinking it & then today you have your head so close to that bull's butt, it could just about shit on you."
The China man is very taken back & says, "Sorry Sir, you no under- stand, these no Chinese customs, I doing, these American Customs."
"What do you mean" says the neighbor, "Those aren't American customs."
*You will love this..*
"Yes they are, man at Travel Agency tell me" replied the Chinese: “He say to become true American, I must learn to Chase Chicks, get Piss Drunk & listen to Bull-Shit!"
The doorbell rings.
A man opens the door and there's his mother-in-law on the front step.
She asks, "Can I stay here for a few days?"
The man says, "Sure you can."
And he closes the door.
Did You Ever Wonder...
How come we choose from just two people for President and fifty for Miss America?
If a woman says she'll be ready in 15 minutes, she will be...

Hikers Find Message Dropped By Carrier Pigeon In 1910
By Ben Hooper
Nov. 9 (UPI) -- A couple hiking in northeastern France came across an unusu- al historical arti- fact -- a carrier pigeon message dating from 110 years earlier.
Jade Halaoui said he was hik- ing with his part- ner in the Ingersheim area when they spot- ted a tiny alu- minum cylinder on the ground.
"IdugitupandI cut it to see what was inside," Halaoui
recalled to the Les Dernieres Nouvelles d'Alsace news-
paper.
Inside was a small piece of paper bearing a message the couple could not make out. They took it to the Linge Memorial museum, where curator Dominique Jardy enlisted the help of a German- speaking friend to translate the small script.
The message, dated July 16 and believed to have been from the year 1910, was authored by a Prussian infantry officer and details mili- tary drills in the Ingersheim area when Alsace was
under German control.
Jardy said the aluminum cap- sule is believed to have been dropped by the carrier pigeon tasked with deliv- ering it to its intended recipi- ent.
Jardy said the discovery was extremely unusu- al.
"It's really very, very, very rare," he told CNN. "It's really exception- al."
He said the mes- sage will now be displayed at the museum.
