Hans Schmidt’s Chinese LaundryA man was walking down the street and noticed a sign reading: “Hans Schmidt’s Chinese Laundry.” Being of a curious nature, he entered and was greeted by an obviously Oriental man who identified himself as Hans Schmidt.“How come you have a name like that?” inquired the stranger.
The Oriental explained in very broken English that when he landed in America he was standing in the immigration line behind a German. When asked his name, the German replied, “Hans Schmidt.”
When the immigration official asked the Oriental his name, he replied, “SAM TING.”
