You won't find it funny at all if you don't understand Cantonese. The *ganglang* slangs used in this "essay" were translated literally into English.

this is rather old though, saw it a few years ago i think

QUOTE
One afternoon I played football with my friends after school. My friends went to the bathroom for a while and I waited outside. Suddenly three older students came up to me. They looked like gangs.

One of them asked me, Where are you come from? I replied, I come from Tai Po. However he was very angry and yelled you play me! How senior are you?

I was afraid. At that moment my friends returned. Tom who is a big guy stared at him and said, What the water are you?. The guy then turned to Tom, non-of your business! Tom pointed at me and said, His business is my business, we are brothers under elder brother Kwan. [Elder brother Kwan is a hero in Chinese History in the Three Kingdom Period]. The guy stunned, Who Shined on you? Tom answered, None of your business. We all laughed.

The guy was very angry, You looked down on me? He then stared at us. Since we have total seven of us then he said, If you got enough ginger, let your horse come over here tonight at the estate playground. Tom replied, Do you big me? I can hit you right now! Without a second, he hit the guy’s nose.

The guy was furious and wanted an immediately fight. His friend held him and one of them told him to calm down since the situation is not good to them. However the guy yelled, You teach me how can I come out and walk in the future? Hit by this younger student! Call Big Brother Seng and Crazy Bill to Zebra chops these people!

We were afraid. However Tom said, I come out and walk, I have prepared to pay back. Then he dialed a number and said, Knife Scar Keong this is Tom. Blow chicken tonight. Call Spear Put Wah, Mountain Chicken and Silly Keung.. What? Silly Keung is handling the quarrel between Gold Hair Leng and Thirteen Little Sister..! Damn, then call Little Snake Meng, tonight at the estate playground have Big tea rice … what ? Do the world? What the ghost are you talk? We chop people tonight. However at this moment, those three senior students ran away with terror on their faces.


LOL@do you big me, mountain chicken, & thirteen little sister. it sounds so funny in english. hahahahahah.

it's like those cheap hk movies with horrible subtitles.

Cantonese slang is the best! You won't understand it unless you speak it/learn it!

My Cantonese officially sucks, I only understand partially some of these, it's harder to translate into Chinese.
