Hey Shanghai,

How U doin'?

Dearest readers of the Shanghai_Nightlife! Newsletter,
My comments from last weeks mailout "Please do the world some good and Give a mint a day to save us from this terrible, terrible disease!" regarding a pseudo disease I named "BREATHE CANCER",  apparently has offended a few readers especially one named Xiao Peng who wrote, "Do Shanghai a favour, leave it.  During all these years here didn't u learn respect towards locals?" Ending the email by calling me a Pathetic laowai.
Well Xiao Peng, my sincerest apologies as I was only trying to make light of a situation, I'm sure we've all experienced, in order to make a few people laugh during these Chilly drizzly days in Shanghai. It was not my intention to offend anyone, similar to those few out there whose breathe is unintentionally quite offensive.  :-)

The Second guy says "Yeah, I was at the airport buying p*** tickets, and the chick behind the counter was well blessed, and instead of asking her for 'two tickets to Pittsburgh' I asked for 'two tickets to Titsburgh' The First guy says, "Yeah, well I was having breakfast with my wife last week, and instead of saying 'Honey, can you please pass me the sugar?', I said 'You've ruined my life you F**KING B*TCH!'
