Joke at the flower store: The Warning Label

I have those expensive "kai yun" (lucky bamboo) put on the table just outside of the flower store. In case others cant see we have new stock at the store, i just have to park it OUTSIDE!

Having to take care of the lucky bamboo are NOT easy job.

I have written the price tag. Wrote;

"LIVE lucky bamboo from taiwan"
"Bring Fortune"
"DO NOT DISTURB"

ok. In case those educated in malay cant read. I wrote;

"BULUH TAIWAN HIDUP"
"BAWA NASIB UNTUNG"
"JANGAN SENTUH"

ok. IN CASE the chinese that cant read english and malay, i wrote the chinese version. Ok, dont have the program to write in here LOL! sorry folks!

---------------------------------------------------------

Real cases

1st: Darn those . Why they never keep their hands and fingers alone from the bamboos! STOP destroying my bamboo! ARGHHHHHHHHH let me take that bamboo stick to hit your hands!

2nd: DARN, why their mothers also keep on touching the bamboo!!! Dont they know its fragile?! OH NOoooooo DONT TWIST those bamboo!

3rd: HOLY CRAP! Why even old man keeps on asking me all the same question if its live bamboo? Still have their fingers disturbing the bamboos!

HEY u, want to buy or not??? Dont disturb! (Toukki looking at those mid 20s guy who quickly ran away after doing twisting the bamboo).

*sigh* Either those people are BLIND or UNEDUCATED or simply LAZY!

they want to touch it, (like rubbing a magical lamp), and get their wish... without buying the bamboo.

Toukki, u must be patient.
Many illiterate folks here in Malaysia.
Not to mention handicapped also (blind).

Yes, I know these kind of stupid ppl who like to molest things and then never buy them! Or, are they so jakun that they go gaga about bamboos?

Pls lah...here plenty are sold in the streets. So ppl are used to see them (less molesting). They will look seriously if they want to buy.

If it not common in your howmetown? Those folks...feels like chopping off their hands huh?

*sigh* if by touching the bamboo can bring me HUGE luck, then i would have become millionaire huahahahah! erm.... shouldnt have think that way. The bamboo gonna bring me lotsa money man!!!

Cookie, haiz.... those people see the bamboo once per year. Last year seen already but forgot. This year seen, next year forgot. As long as once a year stuff, they will think those bamboo are from outaspace.

They touch it, reasons r:

1. Green, fresh bamboo is so attractive to them, so that they cant resist their hand.

2. The bamboo arrangement, esp. Kai Yun bamboo is powerful and the power just absorb their touching.

Suggest you make 1 sample for demonstration and hang a paper tag saying "welcome for touching!", maybe then they'll hesitate to do so. haha!
