I've heard that a Chinese artist cracked a joke not so wisely.
The mother of a girl who is the portrait subject, almost fell off from a chair for excitement, the artist, always wants to say something funny, said:
"Your hu*****and is here." while he is indeed home and stand by.
This Scandinavian blond is nothing like our Chinese elder generation, she might feel the fishy tone but managed not to burst out, so was her hu*****and, also a tolerated man, did not complain.
Well, had they were not nice, he would have been in a big trouble.
