{UPDATE: This post is meant to be humorous and not to be taken seriously when it comes to the jokes… which I’ve heard throughout the years. Please do not comment if you can’t see the humor. Thanks for visiting! :D}
Being Blackinese or Blasian, I’ve heard all the jokes.
“Excuse me. Do you have the time?” Response: “Sorry. My clock is Wong!” hardy har
“Hey Adonya. Is Sum Ting Wong?” snicker snicker
“That’s not right. It’s Wong!” bustin’ at the seams
The list is endless and timeless.
So, it was only a matter of time before I did something so very… Wong. {Please. Stop. I’m dying’ from laughter over here.}
I saw an acupuncturist this morning.
The only thing that killed the oriental flavor was the practitioner was white… not Wong. {gasping… for… air. Laughter. Uncontrollable. Now.}
For anyone who’s never tried acupuncture, I have to say that it was a bit weird at first.
I mean, I’ve had massages and other spa treatments, but this one was way different. I was about to be stabbed with a bunch of tiny… needles!
Now, I’m not gun shy when it comes to needles. Meaning I don’t faint at the mere thought of them. I’m pretty solid.
But acupuncture had me a bit on edge.
And it didn’t help matters much when he told me to remove my shirt so he could work my back. {Clear your minds, people! Clear your minds!}
Anyhoo, he graciously turned away. Being a spiritual man, I expected as much.
Anyhoo, the first prick was different. {Sorry. No other way to word this one.} It instantly made my back uber-sensitive to touch.
The pricks that followed were equally weird in sensation.
I will say that I didn’t appreciate the electric shock therapy I got when he was looking for the pressure points behind my knees. ZOWWEE! A nanosecond of discomfort is too much for me! Thank you!
Well, once all the back needles were in place, I figured I was good until he stated he was going to warm them up.
Excuse me?
What the heck does THAT mean?!?!?!?
What it meant was he would place a medicinal herb (not that one) on the handles (not my love handles) and light them until they smoked.
The heat apparently helps raise my chi which was, according to him, in poor shape.
Back done.
Now he wanted me to roll over.
My first thought, “He’s kidding, right?” Then he said he was leaving the room, so I could dress.
Awwwwww. Phew. {wink}
Now, for the front.
Had to unzip a bit so he could work his mojo on my female region. After all, I am looking to get knocked up by hub sometime soon, and I’ll take any help I can get. {wink again}
Front done.
A lot has to be said for this centuries-old practice. I thought the whole experience was wicked groovy.
My chi needs a lot help which is why I’m scheduling myself for more sessions
Ain’t nothin’ Wong with that! Right? {get wink slap-happy}

You are too damn funny woman! :D You can’t stand a moment of discomfort, yet you want to get knocked up?! You see the failure in logic there, right? ;) Love to ya! :D
I know. Right!
37.5 hours of back labor (with my son) should have said something for my pain tolerance. But NOPE! Still a bit of a wimp.
It’s Wacky Wednesday! :D WOOHOO!
If you need help getting your chi flowing, have you considered tai chi? I just started a class in that, and what I thought was a circulation issue (tingling hands) according to the teacher is actually increased chi. :D (AND NO NEEDLES! *shudder*)
I don’t mind the needles. The whole experience was enjoyable, but I’ll add Tai Chi to my list. :D
I like to think of myself as pretty open-minded, but even flaming needles wouldn’t help my chi. But I have a great chi-walking/chi-running friend’s blog you should check out at corematters for chi-related help.
And before I go, I’ll leave you with this thought on your bravery:
If you walked into a Chinese restaurant for some wontons and there was a white guy behind the counter, would you have ordered ? Some things are just hard to get past…
(No assaults, please. Its just a light-hearted observation!)
“If you walked into a Chinese restaurant for some wontons and there was a white guy behind the counter, would you have ordered ? Some things are just hard to get past…”
This post was a HUMOROUS play off my maiden name. Hence, the inclusion of most of the jokes I’ve heard through the years…
So, I’m not really sure where your statement came from. (I’m not assaulting you; I’m just confused.)
I was just following up jokingly on your statement about the thing that “killed the oriental flavor was that the acupuncturist was white”, not asian as I think most people would have been expecting someone asian to be trained in that art. So, I was likening it to the surprise one would also feel if you went into a Chinese restaurant and didn’t find a Chinese person behind the counter, as you’d expect to find there. It would almost feel like it wasn’t the authentic experience you expected.
And that some things are so ingrained in what we expect of an experience that it can really take us by surprise when things are not what we’ve grown so accustomed to experiencing.
Your post just got me thinking about how we expect certain things to be a certain way. I purposely added that it was a light-hearted observation so readers would know it was meant that way. Guess I wasn’t too clear. So much for my attempt at humor.
Sorry for any confusion.
Phew! I thought the humor had been lost. LOL Soooo glad you saw it, and thanks for the clarity. :D
How could the humor be lost?! It was like stand-up.
Glad I’m not in the doghouse for my lame attempt at humor. It was wong, I mean wrong, of me to even make the effort. Sorry for the Confucious, I mean the confusion!
(Ya know, these jokes REALLY just don’t work when they don’t come from you…) I’ll quit now! LOL
I don’t know, hopeauthority. That last comment was pretty darn hilarious. snicker snort hardy har har :D
Loved all the “Wong” jokes. LOL!
I don’t know how you did it. I hate needles, my friends have suggested I go & get this done but I am just too scared of the needles. Your post was too funny, so comical. lol!

I find that acupuncture transferes pain from parts of the body that can’t tolerate pain to parts that can.
Not only were those jokes Wong, but they were probably disoriented, :)
LMBO Good one, Ahmnodt! Now THAT’S one I haven’t heard before. Kudos!
