(Original)The Honest Chinese man

A man in his early sixties visited Vietnam for his vacation. Upon clearing customs, the officer pulled him over to question him on his honesty:

"Mr. Wong, upon checking your travel documents we have found a mismatch in your immigration questionnaire and your passport record. You said you have visited Vietnam once in your past but your passport shows no such record. As an officer I cannot grant you entree unless you are being honest with us."

The Chinese man insisted he has told the truth and the officer had no choice but to send him home.

Not giving up, the Chinese man came back two weeks later and encountered the same officer. Again he sent the Chinese back.

Add two more week later the man came back! Again and again the man keep trying to enter Vietnam for the entire year of 2013 and the officer barred him over and over again until one day he gave in:

"Ok Mr. Wong. It's Christmas and we all want to make things easy. You insisted you have entered Vietnam without the involvement of human trafficking, smuggling and any other illegal activities. Tell me, when and how you entered Vietnam before this and I will let you pass."

To this the Chinese man replied: "40 years ago, in a tank."

Trivia: The overused gag "Sum Tin Wong" as a Chinese name actually exists. Written in Chinese it is "沈天旺" and his surname is actually "Sum"(沈) not "Wong", Tin Wong means "god bless with prosperity.
