For a chuckle.... When A-Dai recently handed his boss a little red packet containing money, the ensuing conversation that passed between them turned out to be quite a piece of doublespeak art. Boss: "You really ought not have done this." A-Dai: "It is nothing - nothing more than a token (of goodwill, respect, etc.)."
B: "All the same, it is entirely unnecessary." A: "Just a trifle. Just a trifle, indeed." B: "You surely know a thing or two about me." A: "Come to think of it, it really is no more than a trifle." B: "Well, if you put it that way, I'd better drop the topic." A: "Please do - it is I who shall be most pleased when you do."
