Nobody trusts the Chinese..!

Robert Clements

Friday, February 10, 2012 - Why is our Defense Minister suspicious of the Chinese? I asked a General. “Please understand our defense minister is not just an ordinary minister of defense; before taking charge of the ministry he made it a point to see all the Bond movies!” said the General to me. “So he thinks like a spy!” I whispered. “Sssshhh,” the General whispered back. “So what did our defense minister find out?” I asked. “A waiter told our defense minister that while walking to his room, after the dinner hosted by the defense minister, a junior Chinese diplomat had criticized the taste of the Chinese fried rice served. He said it tasted too spicy, too Indian!” “He did?” I asked incredulously. “Our minister immediately smelt a rat. He knows Chinese strategy, especially after watching the owners of Chinese restaurants in Kerala. He knows whenever they criticize something, they are justifying a takeover plan.”

“They plan to takeover India?” I shivered. “No the Chinese restaurants in India! There will be a Chinese invasion of the Indian kitchen!” “No!” I shouted. “Don’t worry,” said the General tapping himself on the shoulder, “with me in charge, nobody will dare!” “Thank you,” I gasped looking at him. “As long as you don’t get a new birth certificate we are all safe!” “And that is not all,” said the General, “there are other reasons why he said we must not trust the Chinese”

“They criticized our noodles also?” I asked fearfully. “No, our defense minister noticed they were talking in Mandarin to each other!” “Right in front of him?” “No when the consul general and his junior visited the toilet!” “Aha!” I said. “Our defense minister immediately knew there was something being said he did not understand. He immediately took objection.”

“He spoke to me. I was also in the toilet. He spoke to me in Hindi.” “That was very clever of our defense minister” I said. “But the Chinese diplomat told him they were only admiring the toilet. Our defense minister was stunned, because they also spoke in Hindi. He knew immediately they were spies! There is only one problem, the defense minister did not wear his glasses when he went to visit the toilet.” “So?” I asked. “Those two men were not Chinese diplomats, they were Nepali waiters from the hotel..!”
