Chinese see funny side of financial crisis | U.S. | Reuters

Chinese see funny side of financial crisis | U.S. | Reuters: "A bank worker calls a colleague, goes one joke on the tiexue.net bulletin board.

'Hey, how's it been going?'

'Not so bad.'

'Oh, sorry, I've definitely called the wrong number.'

Others adopt a similar tone, but riffing off Communist propaganda slogans.

'In the face of the financial crisis, I have bravely stood up and am marching forward! That's because ... I can't pay back my loans and the bank has repossessed my car.'"

Chinese humor is great, but 20 minutes later you want to hear another joke.
