" KAN PEI "
Once there was a Chinese wedding dinner. The dinner occupied only
half the restaurant. The other half was occupied by some American
tourists.

As the wedding Chinese couples hop from table to table to toast the
guests, the cheers of " KAN PEI"...

The happy and joyous drinking gets gets louder and louder.

One American gets more and more irritated as the couple get closer
to him.

" KAN PEI...!" " KAN..... PEI....!!!" The cheers continued.

Finally, the irritated American could not take it anymore. He stood up
on his chair and shouted. "OK! OK! I HEAR YOU. IF YOU CAN'T PAY,
THEN LET ME PAY FOR YOU....!"
 
If you think this is funny, "kanpai" in Japanese does not mean "ganpei". One Japanese friend said he was initially puzzled why his Chinese friends would all "ganpei" when he said "kanpai".
