a couple stories i've picked up from class:
1. confucius was walking around china wit some buddies when they came across a lady who was sobbing. they asked her wat was wrong. "my husband was eaten by a tiger!" oh jesus that's terrible!, they replied. "well, it's actually worse than that; last year my son was eaten by the same tiger!" "...wtf is wrong wit you?! why didn't you move away after it happened the first time?!" to which she replied "there is no oppressive government here." confucius turns to his buddies and says "remember that: an oppressive government is worse than a man eating tiger."
2. two monks were walking around (china again?). as they approached a muddy road they noticed a girl. she was sorta mincing around cause she didn't wanna get dirty so one of the monks gave her a piggy back ride to the clean part of the road. later, back at the monastery, the other monk says "you kno we as monks aren't supposed to touch women, right?" the other monk looks at him in surprise "you're still carrying her? i put her down hours ago!" [haha! but seriously, get it? the spirit of the law, or to the letter?]
