你有洋名吗？

这是朋友转寄来的笑话，蛮有意思的，分享分享。
Caller : Hello, can I speak to Annie Wan (anyone)?
Operator : Yes, you can speak to me.
Caller : No, I want to speak to Annie Wan (anyone)!
Operator : You are talking to someone! Who is this?
Caller : I'm Sam Wan (Someone). And I need to talk to Annie Wan (anyone)! It's urgent.
Operator : I know you are someone and you want to talk to anyone! But what's this urgent matter about?

Caller : Well... just tell my sister Annie Wan (anyone) that our brother Noel Wan (no one)has involved in an accident. Noel Wan (no one)got injured and now Noel Wan (no one) is being sent to the hospital. Right now, Avery Wan (everyone) is on his way to the hospital.

Operator : Look if no one was injured and no one was sent to the hospital, then the accident isn't an urgen t matter! You may find this hilarious but I don't have time for this!

Caller : You are so rude! Who are you?
Operator : I'm Saw Lee (Sorry).
Caller : Yes! You should be sorry. Now give me your name!!!

This is hilarious ...Why Chinese shouldn't have Christian names:
Anne Chin => Keep Quiet (Mandarin)
Carl Cheng => Buttock (Hokkien)
Monica Cheng => Touching your buttocks (Hokkien)
Lucy Leow => You are dead (Hokkien)
Suzie Loo => Lose till death (Hokkien)
Corrine Tai => Poor fellow (Hokkien)
Paul Chan => Bankrupt (Mandarin)
Nelson Tan => Bird laying eggs (Mandarin)
Rosie Teng => Screws and nails (Hokkien)
Pete Tsai => Nose droppings (Hokkien)
Macy Koh => Never die before (Cantonese)

来了新加坡，许多马来西亚人纷纷给自己找个英文名。我不能说有些人是崇洋心态，但，确实是比较方便让他人记得你的名字，因为这里有许多不像华人的华人，印度人，日本人，外国人。。。可是，我到现在依然没有任何所谓的洋名。因为，我发现很容易撞名，而且来来去去那几个名，有点闷，所以，到现在为止，还是有很多人依然说不清我的名，继续扮低调。

后记：或许是心理作怪，中文名如果遇上同样的窘态反而变成是一种独特的个性，让人牢记。比如，有人叫黄师富（变师父了），有人叫周佑志（变幼稚了）。。。还有周星驰教导的吴广德和吴好缇。。。让人津津乐道 。
