A Mexican Wall
Wall Street Disease
A retired New York resident who has moved to the West Coast to retire, visited a local doctor to seek medical advice for what he suspects as new and very unusual health problems.
Patient: “Doc, I feel shortness of breath, dizziness, cold sweats, can’t sleep. Do you think I will collapse any time soon?”
Doctor: “Yep. You must be from Wall Street!”

Remember The Golden Rule?
Here's something I picked up from a recent Reuters article:
Two people produce fake 15 yuan notes, although there is no such thing as a 15 yuan bill in China.
They decide to go to a remote mountain area to spend it and buy a candied melon slice for 1 yuan.
They burst into tears when they get two 7 yuan notes in change. (There is also no such thing as a 7 yuan note in China.)
