Comedy Court


Another funny incident today….

A Chinese man was summoned to court for a traffic offence. When he came up to have the charge read, my Chinese interpreter started to read the charges to him in Mandarin. It sounded something like this:


“Ching chong ching chong tze tzi tzu tzu”


This went on for about a minute. I saw my Road Transport Department prosecuting officer began to smile seeing my interpreter explaining the charges to the Chinese man. He didn’t seem to understand in the beginning but later on he started to nod. As is said earlier, this went on for about a minute or so.

Then, my interpreter turned to me and said, “He pleads guilty”. I knew what happened but I started to laugh on the bench. I asked her, “it must be really hard to speak Mandarin. You went ching chong with him for nearly a minute and the translation was only ‘he pleads guilty’???”

That had the whole court laughing.

Haih... blog adjourned...
