Chinese gold..!
Robert Clements
The Chinese have won the most number of gold medals but the US have won
more medals overall, and this is causing a dispute of international
proportions between the two giants. “Look at the medals we are carrying
home,” panted an American athlete as he lifted a sack, “even the
airlines are refusing us on board unless we pay for extra baggage!”
“Gold is gold,” chanted the Chinese athletes, “you can carry back your
silver, you can carry back your bronze, but we carried back the gold!”
“You might have got more gold,” shouted the American Olympians, “but
we’ve got more medals and the Olympics is about medals dear dragons!”
Now there’s one thing about the Chinese, though the dragon it be
national emblem and you also see it in most Chinese restaurants and also
restaurants which are not Chinese but want to fool customers they are,
still nobody likes being called a dragon. “It’s a very provocative
term,” said the referee who was kicked by the Cuban, and whose
statements were now being swallowed by the International press, “you
just can’t call anybody a dragon! Ofcourse that fellow who kicked me, he
could make it to the dinosaur category but not dragon, never!”
“We’ve got to put an end to this controversy!” said the head of the
Olympic committee, “We can’t have this dragging on…”
“Dragoning one…” laughed his Chinese interpreter. “Ah yes, dragooning
on!” said the head of the committee. The British were upset, this could
spell trouble in the next Olympics and it was decided to find a solution
before it got carried to the Isles of Britain. “I think I’ve got a way
out,” said Prime minister Brown, “weigh the medals!” “What do you mean?”
asked the Olympic chief as his interpreter hastened to translate his
English to Brown.
“Dammit, just melt all the American medals and put it on a weighing
machine and the Chinese on another and see which is heavier, that’s the
winner.” “Genius!” shouted the Olympic chief as his translator hastened
to translate the word for Brown, who waited for her to finish and then
patted himself on his shoulder.Wait!” shouted the Chinese chief.
“No!” shouted the Chinese team. “America win!” shouted the Chinese
president. “Why did the Chinese give up so easily?” asked the American
President as he boarded the plane to America.
“The gold medals were made in China!” chuckled the Olympic chief as his
translator scowled, “they were not genuine gold, just gold plated, like
the little singing girl mouthing another voice and the imaginary fire
works on the first day!”
“Ah! Made in China! What else can you expect!” chuckled the rest of the
world.
