    so a friend of mine from China travels to the UK for a couple of weeks holiday

    on the 1st day he takes his 100 rmb note to the bank and gets 9.80 sterling
    on the 2nd day he goes to the bank again with 100 rmb and he gets 9.55 sterling
    on day 3 once again he visits the bank with 100 rmb and the bank gives him 9.20 sterling

    my friend at this point decides to challenge the banker as to why

    he explained - day 1 you give me 9.80, day 2 you give me 9.55 and today you just give me 9.20 - how this happen?

    the banker tries to explain about currency values changing

    my friend does not understand

    the banker tries again - explaining "its all about fluctuations"

    my friend does not understand the long English word and and asks again why the amount of money he gets , goes down every day

    the banker tries again but slowly and pronounces every syllable

    Fluc- tu - ations

    my friend storms out of the bank shouting Fluc to elopeans to

    fluc tu ations

    ations - sounds like Asians

    my friend is Chinese and thus is Asian

    so when the banker said Fluc tu ations

    he replied

    "Oh thank you for clarifying that and have a nice day"
