"Only
Chinese can have this idea"
A family in the Southern Province of China, were puzzled
when the coffin of their dead grandmother arrived from the
States. It was sent by one of the daughters. The dead body
was so tightly squeezed inside the coffin, with no space
left in it! When they opened the lid, they found a letter
on top; which read as follows:
Dear Cousins,
I am sending Ahma (Grand Ma) body to you since it was her
wish that she should be cremated in the compound of our
ancestral home in Tung Shin. Sorry, I could not come along
as all of my paid leaves are consumed. You will find inside
the coffin, under Ahma's body, 12 cans of Yohmeitsu, 10
packets of Swiss chocolates! and packets of Chinatown Lap
Cheong. Please divide these among all of you. On Ahma's
feet you will find a new pair of Nike Air shoes (size 10)
for Ah boy. Also, there are 2 pairs of shoes for Ah Mei's
and Ah Lien's sons. Hope the sizes are correct. Ahma is
wearing 6 CK(Calvin Klein) T-Shirts. The large size is for
Ah Bak and the others are for my nephews. Just distribute
them among yourselves. The 2 new Armani Jeans that Ahma
is wearing are for the boys. The Rolex watch that Lee Ah
Bai wanted is on Ahma's left wrist. Kiasu Aunty Pei Pei,
Ahma is wearing the Tiffany necklace, earrings and ring
that you asked for. Please take them. The 6 white Polo cotton
socks that Ahma is wearing must be divided among my teenage
cousins.
Let me know what else you need as Ah Kong (Grand Pa) is
also not keeping well nowadays... I can send all required
things when our Ah Kong goes back too............
