A man went on a business trip to China and wanted to buy some gifts
for his kids.He went to a shop and found a nice-looking CD player.

Wary of buying inferior goods, he asked the shopkeeper, 'What would
happen if this does not work?' The shopkeeper quietly points to the
only sign in English that reads, 'GUARANTEE NO SPOILT'.

Feeling assured, he paid for the CD player and returns to his hotel.
He tried to use the CD player after returning to the hotel but it would
not even switch on.

He quickly returned to the shop and asked for a refund or an exchange for
another unit. When the shopkeeper refuses to give either, the man points to
the sign assuring him of a guarantee.

The shopkeeper then said, 'Brother, you are in China. We read from the
right to the left.'
