HOW THE CHINESE STAY PUT IN ITALY

About a century or two ago, the Pope decided that all the Chinese had to

leave Italy. Naturally there was a big uproar from the Chinese

community.

So the Pope made a deal. He would have a religious debate with a member

of the Chinese community. If the Chinese win, they could stay. If the

Pope wins, the Chinese would leave.

The Chinese realized that they had no other choice. So they picked a

middle-aged man named Ah Pek to represent them.

Ah Pek asked for one condition to be added to the debate. 'To make it

more interesting', he said, 'neither side would be allowed to talk'.

The Pope agreed. The day of the great debate came.

Ah Pek and the Pope sat opposite each other for a full minute. Then the

Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers. Ah Pek looked back at him

and raised one finger. The Pope waved his fingers in a circle around his

head. Ah Pek pointed to the ground at where he sat. The Pope pulled out

a loaf and a glass of wine. Ah Pek pull out an apple.

The Pope stood up and said: 'I give up. This man is too good. The

Chinese can stay.'

An hour later, the cardinals were all around the Pope asking him what

happened?.

The Pope said, First I held up three fingers to represent the holy

trinity. He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there

was still one God common to both our religions.

Then I waved my finger around me to show him that God was all around us.

He responded by pointing to the ground and showing that God was also

right here with us.

I pulled out the wine and loaf to show that God absolves all sin. He

showed me an apple to remind us of the original sin. He had an answer

for everything. What could I do???????

Meanwhile, the Chinese community had crowded around Ah Pek. 'What

happened?' they asked.

Well, said Ah Pek. First he indicated to me that all Chinese had 3 days

to get out of here. I replied to him f*@k off and not one of us was

leaving.

Then he pointed that this whole city would be cleared of Chinese. I

showed him that we are staying right here.

Yes, and then???' asked the crowd.

I don't know, said Ah Pek. He took out his lunch, and I took out

mine!!!!!!!!

HAHA!

Damn funny right!!
