800 Channels, Stir-Fried

Since first publishing Mabelisms, I've received a few e-mails from folks in similar situations.

A fellow named John sent this hilarious version of Chinglish gone awry:

I recently took a business trip and I asked my wife (the prettiest and smartest woman in Shanghai) to get our satellite TV system repaired while I was away.

When I called home I asked if the repairs had been made. My wife said yes, but the repairs had been very expensive because they had to replace the wok.

That's priceless.
