Chinese Joke
The Chinese tend to be pretty self-effacing in their humour:
--------
Osama bin Laden sends five terrorists to wreak havoc on China. The first decides to destroy the transportation infrastructure in Shanghai and chooses to blow up a major interchange. Except when he drives into and starts to find a good place, he gets so lost in the mess that is its design, that he never finds his way out.
The second decides to plant a bomb in a supermarket to kill as many people as possible. Except that somebody steals it and sells it for parts.
The third one decides to go to Shanxi province, but before he can do anything, is captured by slave masters, is sold to a coal mine owner, and is killed in a mining accident.
The fourth takes the train Guangzhou, a major industrial and commercial hub, to try his luck there. Except that as soon as he gets off the train, a motorbike races by and steals his bag and all of his belongings.
The final one goes to Henan province, and before he can do anything, is mugged and killed.
So, Osama bin Laden decides to not bother with China any more. It's already a mess.
