Kung hei fat choi (Happy New Year)

Why it's important to understand English

As reported by a Toronto native:

I went to the currency exchange window at the local bank.
Short line. Just one guy in front of me...an Asian guy who was
Trying to exchange yen for dollars and he was a little
irritated ....

He asked the teller,

"Why it change??
Yestoday, I get two hunat dolla fo yen. Today I get hunat eighty??
Why it change?"

The teller shrugged his shoulders and said,
"Fluctuations".

The Asian guy says, "Fluc you white people too".

(Do you get it?)
