Chapter 657 - American humor
Use the Chinese language to communicate with their creditor?
Oh, my God, this guy is a riot!
The Mei nationals were laughing when they heard that statement. For a moment, they forgot that the man was a criminal threatening to blow up the White House.
“Talented. He’s way too talented, haha, haha...”
Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai stood up to clap for the masked man as they looked at the screen in the auditorium. Huang Ruoran and Wang Ling were sitting beside the guys, equally amused. Those words would not have sounded funny to a kid who did not know that the Hua nation was the Mei nation’s biggest creditor.
“I’ve learned all about the Mei nation’s history.”
historical
Xiao Luo continued his speech on the various major broadcasting platforms.
Everyone was glued to their screens, enjoying the entertaining live broadcast.
“Someone once asked me, who is Benjamin Franklin? My answer was, he is the reason that the convenience stores get robbed.”
Every Mei national watching the live broadcast burst out laughing because every hundred-dollar note in the Mei nation had the face of Benjamin Franklin printed on it. Since every convenience store would have hundred-dollar notes, that would be the reason these stores would get robbed.
Xiao Luo continued, “There is one more question. What is the second amendment to the Mei nation constitution? And my answer was, it is also the reason that convenience stores get robbed.”
The Mei Nation audience watching the live stream burst out laughing once again. The fact was that the second amendment of the Mei nation’s constitution was to the freedom of its citizens to carry arms.
It was humorous and engaging—two different questions with a similar answer. Many Mei nationals laughed till their faces turned red. That included the cabinet ministers in the Pentagon. It was hard not to laugh at such humor about their country.
“In the Mei nation, people often say that everyone is born equal. Yet equality somehow depended on their parents’ income. Do we not see that reflected in the early education and healthcare sector? I read in the ‘Men’s Health’ magazine that President Bama has two days of cardiorespiratory therapy and four days of muscle training each week. When I mentioned that, someone then said that he did not need the training, for he has medical insurance!”
The tone used in the last sentence was that of complacency. That kind of humor made every Mei national burst out laughing. He might have meant it as a joke, but there was a hidden meaning behind that joke. The audience realized that the masked man was using humor to criticize current problems in the Mei nation.
“Since we have already mentioned President Bama, then let us talk more about him.”
Xiao Luo changed the topic, and with a tone of ridicule, he said, “People always say that President Bama is a soft-hearted person, but he started two wars and brought lots of death and anguish to this world. It is terrible that they awarded him the Nobel Peace Prize. And he accepted it with no hesitation at all. Could there be anything worse in this world other than this?”
In the Pentagon, President Bama’s face turned dark, and he looked so grim that it could not possibly get any worse. His eyes glowered with fury, and the desire to tear this Hua nation man apart was clear. After they heard what the masked man had said, everyone was silent. The atmosphere felt like the calm before a storm, and there was an awkward chill in the room.
“Is this guy in a hurry to meet his Maker?”
It stunned Sarah Michelle when she heard what the masked man had said. That guy had the guts to make fun of the president of the Mei nation. He did not just poke fun at him, but he had even condemned the president. What he had done did not differ from slapping the president in public.
Xiao Luo spread his arms out and continued to speak as if resigned to the irony of it. “But, there is something worse than this. The fact is that President Bama used the prize money from the Nobel Peace Prize to support the army to continue funding wars,” he said.
They burst out laughing! The entire Mei nation burst out laughing!
That masked man had already won the hearts of many Mei nationals. They all cheered, whistled, and clapped.
“The Mei nation is amazing because it is always the champion of the annual International Baseball Game. Although the only teams taking part are those from the Mei nation and Canada,” Xiao Luo said firmly in a calm tone.
His sarcasm wasn’t lost on his audience, for in the Mei nation, they could freely joke about their president. The Mei nationals laughed loudly once again. Many were already tearing up. They did not expect that the sudden live broadcast had turned out to be that humorous.
Xiao Luo went on to say, “After seeing at how President Bama had started two wars, I understood the glory of having power. Perhaps I should also be a Mei national and try to run for the presidency as well. The whole world knows that you’ve all wasted the eight years of your lives. And when I do run as a candidate, I expect someone will then ask, ‘Hey, what would be your campaign slogan?’”
Alright then, what I want to say is that I understand the suffering that the Mei nationals have gone through. So, my campaign slogan will be ‘Who the hell cares about you.’ What do you all think?”
That vulgar slogan caused all the Mei nationals to laugh out loud once again.
“If I get elected, I will legalize gay marriage. That would win me votes from the younger generation. I will also eliminate the unemployment rate in the Mei nation. I will use the productivity method commonly used by the Mei nationals, which is to have two to three people complete a job that one person can easily do. Also, I have a fast and effective measure against the greenhouse effect. I can change the Fahrenheit to Celsius, so a hundred degrees will now be only forty degrees.”
If I get elected, I will use the text message format to send my allies a ‘Hi’ message as a greeting. But it will be different for my enemies. I will send them a message when they are driving. My message would say, ‘Oh, my God, are you guys secretly developing nuclear weapons?’”
As soon as he said that, the entire Mei nation broke out in raucous laughter. Xiao Luo had subdued them with humor. Everyone knew that the original reason President Bama embarked on the two wars was that he insisted the other party was developing nuclear weapons.
“Haha...”
Sarah Michelle laughed. She admired the way Xiao Luo had phrased his words.
“F*ck, this guy is a master of humor. He has sarcastically criticized all the problems that the Mei nation faced. The sarcasm toward President Bama sure packed a powerful punch.”
“Master... He is a master!”
Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai were fascinated with the masked man on the screen, and they worshipped him.
Huang Ruoran was extremely quiet because she was paying attention to the sound of that voice, which sounded very familiar to her. She mumbled to herself, “Why does this voice sound so much like Xiao Luo’s voice?”
She might have said that softly. But Zhu Xiaofei, Ding Kai, and Wang Ling heard her.
Brother Luo?
Huh?
The three of them gasped. No one thought too much about it until Huang Ruoran suggested it. But now that she had mentioned it, the voice did sound like Xiao Luo.
“Oh, my Lady Gaga, it can’t be Brother Luo!”
Ding Kai had a look of shock written all over his face. Is that masked man Xiao Luo? What was going on? Did he not say that he was in the Mei nation for a holiday? Looking at how things were unfolding, it appeared that Xiao Luo was there to create trouble.
“What kind of chaos is Hero Luo trying to create? He is way too aggressive. He is even challenging the Mei nation!”
Wang Ling’s body trembled a bit. She had realized how mysterious Hero Luo was and how little they knew him. He was always known to be powerful and gutsy, but now he even dared to challenge the Mei nation. If that kind of news spread across Huaye, no one would believe it. Hero Luo was living in a completely different world from them. And in his world, he was already at the top of the pyramid.Huang Ruoran dropped her jaw, completely stunned.
