Quotes of the week

Last night Bear, the phone guy from downstairs asked us to come down and play cards with him and his wife. We played for a couple hours, then when the students got out of classes we stopped and returned when buisness was slow again. After closing up for the night Bear asked us to go to get night snacks. We went to the same barbacue restraunt where we had met the chairman of Rong Jia Wan weeks earlier.
We had goat or sheep on a stick, fish, and some Jiu cai, which translates as chinese chives, but they dont taste like chives at all, in fact they're joes favorite food now.

Here are some quotes from our conversation at the table.
Reminder: Ova= over.

Bear speaking about gam bei: "means drink ova"
Bear speaking about finshing the meal: "eat ova"
Bear speaking about other uses for the word over: "Hongkong policeman said on film , Ova **Cush Cush***Ova"

and who can forget the hilariousness of the Groshens trying to explain pop culture to our friend Erin, earlier this week.

Emily" Do you know Destiny's Child?" ( speaking to Erin)
Joe " Yeah Isn't there somebody named Scar or Three Eyes in that group?"
Emily " No, That's TLC and its Left eye!"
(Erin just looks puzzled)
