Slide 1: You Are A Chinese If…
Slide 2: You’re a Chinese if.… if you unwrap Christmas gifts very carefully, so you can save and reuse the wrapping (and especially those bows) next year. if you only buy Christmas cards after Christmas, when they are 50% off. if you have a vinyl table cloth on your kitchen table. if your stove is covered with aluminum foil. if your kitchen has a sticky film of grease over it.
Slide 3: You’re a Chinese if.… if you use the dishwasher as a dish rack. if you have never used your dishwasher. if you keep a Thermos of hot water available at all times. if you boil water and put it in the refrigerator. if you save grocery bags, tin foil, and tin containers. if you use grocery bags to hold garbage. if you also use the jam jars as drinking glasses.
Slide 4: You’re a Chinese if.… if you have a collection of minature shampoo bottles that you take every time you stay in a hotel. if the condiments in your fridge are either Price Club sized or come in plastic packets, which you save/steal every time you get take out or go to McDonald's. Ditto paper napkins. if you never order room service. if you fight over who pays the dinner bill if you majored in something practical like engineering, medicine or law.
Slide 5: You’re a Chinese if.… when you go to a dance party, there are a wall of guys surrounding the dance floor trying to look cool. if you don't use measuring cups. if you feel like you've gotten a good deal if you didn't pay tax. if you beat eggs with chopsticks. if you have a drawer full of old pens, most of which don't write anymore.
Slide 6: You’re a Chinese if.… if your mom drives her Mercedes to the Price Club. if you always look phone numbers up in the phone book, since calling Information costs 50 cents. if you only make long distance calls after 11pm. if you know all the waiters at your favorite Chinese restaurants. if you like Chinese films in their original undubbed versions
Slide 7: You’re a Chinese if.… if you love Chinese Martial Arts films. if Shao Lin and Wu Tang actually mean something to you. if you have acquired a taste for bittermelon. if you like congee with thousand year old eggs. if you prefer your shrimp with the heads and legs still attached--it means they're fresh. if you never call your parents just to say hi.
Slide 8: You’re a Chinese if.… if your parents never go to the movies. if you starve yourself before going to all you can eat sushi. if you've joined a CD club at least once. if you know someone who can get you a good deal on jewelry or electronics. if you never discuss your love life with your parents. if your parents are never happy with your grades.
Slide 9: You’re a Chinese if.… if you save your old Coke bottle glasses even though you're never going to use them again. if you keep used batteries. if your toothpaste tubes are all squeezed paper-thin. if you take this message and forward it to all your Chinese friends.
