Funny Jokes - Olie's Chinese Restaurant

You know how every now and then you find an incongruity in business 
names?
Well, here's a doozy.  "Olafsen's Chinese Restaurant"  Upscale 
restaurant,
too, that had obviously been in business a while.  I asked myself 
what on
earth someone of obvious Norwegian heritage was doing opening up a 
Chinese
restaurant, unless maybe it was by marriage.

Ate there and it was delicious.  Asked the Maitre D', who was 
obviously
oriental, about the name.  Turns out he was the son of the owner.  
When his
dad was a young man he emigrated to America.  As he was standing in 
line for
immigration services the employee was taking names and filling out 
the forms
for the people who didn't write English.  He had just finished with a
Norwegian group, moved down to his dad and asked his name and he 
told him:
Sam Ting.

And the rest is history.
