Walking through San Francisco's Chinatown, a tourist was enjoying the artistry in front of all the Chinese restaurants, shops signs and banners. However, when he turned a corner he saw a building with the sign . . .
Moishe Plotnik's Chinese Laundry
He thought how does 'Moishe Plotnik' belong in Chinatown. When he walked into the shop, he saw there were baseball hats, T-shirts and coffee mugs, all emblazoned with the logo, 'Moishe Plotnik's Chinese Laundry'
The tourist bought a coffee cup to take back to his office from a smiling old Chinese man behind the counter who thanked him for his purchase.
The tourist asked him, 'Can you tell me how this place got a name like Moishe Plotnik's Chinese Laundry?
The old man answered, 'Ah Evleebody ask me dat. It name of owner.'
Looking around, the tourist asked, 'Is he here now?'
'It me, me him!' replied the old man.
'Really? You're Chinese, however did you ever get a Jewish name like Moishe Plotnik?'
It simple, said the old man. 'Many years ago I come to this country and I was standing in line at 'Document Centre of Immigration' and man in front of me was from Poland.
Lady at counter look at him and say to him, 'What your name? and he say to her, 'Moishe Plotnik.'
Then she look at me and say, 'What your name'
I say, 'Sam Ting.'
