What are all those Mexican Wrestlers doing on Chinese beaches? Maybe they’re looking for the Dread Pyramid of Itzilichlitlichlitzl, and they need Sensei Ping. ---

How are you going to identify the person that stole your stuff while you were in the water? _Well, he was wearing…oh, never mind._ ---

Looks like there is a mass robbery taking place at the beach refreshment stand. Maybe I should wear one of those to protect my face. I can’t spend more than about 10 minutes in strong sunlight even while wearing sunscreen. Maybe I should wear one to protect my identity. I am not in shape to be seen on the beach, even if I have lost some weight lately. ---

I know it’s all in fun, but I have to wonder about the reporter’s guessing as to why it’s popular. If, indeed, a pale complexion is a sign of gentility, then it stands to reason that pale arms and hands, at the least, should accompany it. Otherwise it just kind of defeats the purpose of stating “Look, I don’t have to be outside in the garden growing my food all day anymore!”, no? ---
