This one was told by my math lecturer today:
There is this chinese mathematician who went to buy some tidbits. Apparently it was something unique and he wanted to leave some for his friend. But his friend was not in, so he left a message: Let you try (sq. root 2)
get what he mean?
hint: sq. root 2 is approx. 1.414
so, translating the message into chinese it becomes 让你尝一点试一试
And this one is hot from the oven (by me)
When someone says he wants to remain in D major, what does it mean?
hint: try translating D major into chinese
get it? :D

Hi JR,
I don't understand the joke, especially the second one. I get the first one.
haha.. 2nd one isnt really a joke.. it's just speaking in a subtle way.. so not all can understand although they hear u
D maj we call it D 调, so along that line it becomes 低调, which also means low profile..
haha.. err.. i can imagine ur expression now.. must be frowning eh
just thought that C major can be used too, but it's a bit negative.. must think of C as a word in hokien
eh no wonder I couldn't get your jokes lah...
D major in chinese we call it
'D 大调' what..
