I used to work with a guy who had a chinese character tatooed on his neck, that he claimed was strength. We went to lunch at the local quick wok (I'd known the owner for years) and when my workmate made a head call, I talked the owner into asking him why he had the chinese character for asshole tatooed on his neck. Of course, Mr. "Strength" told him that it was for strength. The owner of the restaurant asked him who was more resonable to believe, a chinese man or a white tatoo artist trying to get people to buy tatoos. I have laughed about that ever since and it's been nearly 15 years.
