The first one says, "I'm in here for raising prices, they accused me of gouging." The second one says, "I'm in here for dropping prices, they accused me of undercutting." <br /><br />They ask the third shop owner what he is in jail for, and he replies, "I kept my prices the same, and they accused me of collusion!"Aaron Kinneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12059982934663353474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050554817776641945.post-30008871148110383192009-04-20T01:16:00.000-07:002009-04-20T01:16:00.000-07:00very nice article. would it be possible to post th...very nice article. would it be possible to post the original untranslated jokes as well? thanks!xdhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050554817776641945.post-12722234066774979812009-04-19T18:17:00.000-07:002009-04-19T18:17:00.000-07:00A request: Could you also post the original Chines...A request: Could you also post the original Chinese (or a link to it)?

One of our contributors, Xujun Eberlein, noticed that this was happening in December too--you can see her posting about it at <A HREF="http://www.insideoutchina.com/2008/12/who-or-what-is-doing-fake-links.html" REL="nofollow">her blog</A>.The China Beathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17042877198563453117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050554817776641945.post-86911104027799559482009-04-19T10:13:00.000-07:002009-04-19T10:13:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.The China Beathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17042877198563453117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050554817776641945.post-10085764731860997372009-04-19T09:01:00.000-07:002009-04-19T09:01:00.000-07:00Hey China Beat.

Really high-quality stuff.<br /><br />I've been noticing that my blog - "Mark's China Blog" - is constantly showing up in your posts' "Links to this Post" sections. For example, there's a link to my blog on the jokes from the cultural revolution post.<br /><br />Is this happening because people are clicking on your posts from my blog-roll?<br /><br />Know that I'm not intentionally spamming your site.<br /><br />If there's anything you'd like me to do so that my blog doesn't get free advertising on every one of your posts, please let me know. I'm clueless as to why this is happening.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />MarkMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00967364257656897151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050554817776641945.post-88242979783483870762009-04-18T21:02:00.000-07:002009-04-18T21:02:00.000-07:00One I heard in 1979:

The second replied, " That's funny, I am in here for attacking Deng Xiaoping!" <br /><br />The two turned to ask the third, "What are you in for?" Shaking his head sadly, he replied " I AM Deng Xiaoping."Weinoreply@blogger.com
