A Chinese guy is on holiday in the UK. He's having a nice time, seeing all the sights and doing all the usual touristy stuff. One day, he notices he's a bit short on the old pounds and goes to the Bureau de Change. He's delighted when he sees the exchange rate: only nine yuan to the pound! He goes in, changes loads of money, comes out with a happy grin on his face and a bulging wallet. Off he goes to spend it all on tourist desirables, like plastic policemens hats, Olde Tea Shoppe toffees and so on.
A few days later, he realises he's low on funds again, so once more he heads off to the bureau de Change. This time however, the exchange rate isn't so good: He needs twenty-five yuan to get his mitts on a pound. Understandably annoyed, he demands to see the manager.
'What this?', he shouts. 'Few day ago, rate was nine yuan, one paun! Now this day, it twenty-fai yuan, one paun! What goin on here, eh?'
The manager shrugs his shoulders, and says, simply, 'Fluctuations, sir.'
Enraged, the Chinese tourist shouts, 'And Fluck you Engrish too!'
See? I told you it was stupid.
