I was on a taxi this morning and the Chinese radio 95.8FM was having a very interesting dialogue. I may not have captured the whole thing and I may paraphrase it :p so anyway here it goes:
My imagination ... I think Man B must have complained about how poor he is and complaining a lot about his life. He's a representative of average middle income earner and comparing himself to those who are ultra rich.
Man A: So, if you are given $100 to cut off one of your finger, will you do that?
Man B: NO.
Man A: What if I give you $1000 to cut off your hand, will you do that?
Man B: NO.
Man A: What if I give you $10,000 and make you blind, will you accept that?
Man B: NO. Are you nuts?
Man A: What if I give you $100,000 and turn you to an 80-yr-old man, will you agree?
Man B: NO. NO. NO.
Man A: How about $1,000,000 and I'll end your misery and you'll just die now?
Man B: NO. What's the use of the $1,000,000 by then?
Man A: Ah ... so now you see you have something that's worth more than money and yet you keep saying you are poor? What are you trying to say here?
Man B: (Speechless)
