GUARANTEE NO SHRINK

A Westerner (Kwai-Loh), while touring in Hongkong, saw the price of a
branded shirt cost only half the price of what's being sold back home.

Being warned of "cheap" shirts by his freinds back at home, he began
to check the shirt carefully. He smiled when he saw a label sewed on
the shirt. The label read "Guaranteed No Shrink".

Convinced that he has indeed found a great price, he bought himself
half-a-dozen of shirts.

Back at the hotel, he took out the shirts and send them to the laundry.
He was eager to put them on and see some envious faces in his tour group.

When the shirts returned, he was shocked that all of them have shrunk by
at least one size. He looked at the label again to assure himself that he
did not read the it wrongly. 

Yes, the label clearly stated: "Guaranteed No Shrink".

Angrily, he took the shirts, went to the shop and asked to see the manager.
The manager came out, listened to his complain and then calmly point to
the label and said: "You Westener read from left to right. We Chinese read
from right to left."
