How did a Chinese guy have a Tamil name
I recently met a Chinese man in Toronto and got to know that his name was “Kannaswamiâ. I asked him, “How did you ever get a name like that being a Chinese?”
He said -“Many, many years ago when I first went to Canada, I was standing in line at the Political Asylums Immigration Counter. The man in front of me was a Sri Lankan Tamil refugee.â
The white lady at the counter looked at him and asked “What is your name?” He replied “Kannaswami”.
Then she looked at me and asked “What’s your name?” I said, “Sem Ting”.
Two Canadians die and go to hell.
Satan puts them in their own cell and turns up the heat to 49C, figuring thatâs a good temperature to start newcomers. He comes back a while later to find the Canadians shirtless but smiling.
âIt never gets this warm in Canada weâre enjoying while it lasts.â One of them explains when a mystified Satan asks why they arenât miserable.
Angry, Satan turns up the heat to 60C figuring nobody could ever enjoy that. But low and behold he returns to their cell and sees that a bunch of other Canadians have turned up and are having a cookout. Furious, Satan decides to try a different tactic and instead turns the thermostat all the way down to -20C, and all of hell freezes over. Cackling, Satan visits their cell and finds the Canadians having a roaring party.
âHOW CAN YOU BE HAPPY!?!â He demands.
âThe Maple Leafs just won the Stanley Cup!â The Canadians shout triumphantly.
