Someone e-mailed me this joke the other day and I found it really funny. So much that I actually asked some people what they would do if they were in that situation and listened to their answers. Well here it goes:
—————————
An American, Japanese and a Chinese went for a hike one day.
It was very hot. They were sweating and exhausted. When they came upon a small lake, they took off all their clothes and jumped into the water, since it was fairly secluded. Feeling refreshed, the trio decided to pick a few berries while enjoying their “freedom.”
As they were crossing an open area, suddenly a group of ladies from town appeared.
—————-
Tim: Now this is when I asked a number of people this question. Say you were running away to your clothes, which part of your body would you cover with your hand? Think about it first before you move on from here.
Got it? Ok here’s the continuation of it.
—————–
Unable to get to their clothes in time, the American and the Japanese quickly used their hands to cover their privates. But the Chinese covered his face and the trio ran for cover.
After the ladies had left and the men got their clothes back on, the American and the Japanese asked the Chinese why he covered his face rather than his private part.
The Chinese replied, “I don’t know about you……. but in my country, it’s the face that people recognize.”

I thought this was soo funny because it’s so true. I mean it would really be in your instinct to cover your privates and run when the right thing to do really is to cover your face. Haha I will remember that… if I were to ever get caught in that situation.
