Tibetan joke

2012. január 31./ITN/TibetPress

According to Xiao Qiang, a joke currently circulating in Chinese cyberspace about the recent order that homes, temples and schools in Tibet must display portraits of China’s leaders.

    Cadres went from house to house to ask: Have you hung all the leaders [portraits]? They all answer: Hung, we hung them all!*

    * The word ? (gua) literally means to hang, but is also online slang for “dead.” So the double-entendre is: “The leaders are all     dead!”
