3. Thank you

I was trying to estimate the protein grams in my cup of hot and sour soup.

I think it's pretty high.

2. It's tofu - the Mandarin Chinese word for landfill - who really cares.

I understand people like it, so I hope I haven't insulted you.

4. I am deeply insulted! I am eating tofu as we speak, so to speak.

;-) I am glad so many people don't like tofu, more for me!

5. Hey, it's your loss.

You've probably just never had it prepared well.

6. BLASPHEMY!

And now the magical powers of phytoestrogen will abandon you in your hour of need, fool!

7. Wow, I'm getting flamed over tofu. I'm not sure how to respond.

11. Ignore me.

It's the hip thing.

13. It might be the Tofurkey avatar that scares them away.

8. Mandarin Chinese is redundant

thought it appears you don't know much about the Chinese, so this is hardly surprising... Not to mention that tofu is a cantonese word, not mandarin. In Mandarin, it would be 'dofu'

And seriously, it's your loss if you don't like bean curd...great stuff.

9. Well Mr. Smartypants, I'm getting my rifle shotgun and going to

your office cubicle and shooting you in the chin mandible.

I think this came from SCTV's Redundancy Playhouse Theater.

10. Hey, I was just trying to educate you...

I consider it a form of charity

12. Good luck - I'm uneducable.

My high school guidance counselor said "it's raining like hell and not a drop sinks in."

14. It's never too late...

in all seriousness, though, if you're going to make a joke about another culture, you should at the very least get the terms right, you know? it's like you said that something was the american english language word...it just sounds dumb. i won't fault you for not knowing that tofu isn't a mandarin word...that's a bit trickier.

15. See, here's the thing.

No one cares (except you and maybe some actual Mandarins) that tofu isn't a mandarin word. It was a poor attempt at humor.

The joke was that for most of non-tofu-eating America, tofu's main use should be landfill. I feel the same way about eggplant for that matter.

Using an exotic (and keep in mind for a lot of bush supporters, cajun pork rinds are exotic) language such as Mandarin only adds to the humor.

By the way, are you an engineer?

[sir_captain]

16. Ah, you see, I thought a joke was supposed to be funny...

the fact that you think Mandarin is an "exotic" language demonstrates the problem with your material. Or maybe you don't think it's exotic but that Bush supporters do, and it's all part of your "joke." I certainly can't tell...

But yeah, if the issue here is that you're just not funny, I can live with that.
