In his book “The Sour Pack” Ronald Chu identified and illustrated the credo and lifestyle of a clan of young people in society in a comical way. Here are some of the illustrations taken from the book; perhaps you could find some of them familiar to you.

Woman : My love for you is as deep as water can go and as hot as fire can burn. I’ve decided to marry you.

Man: I’ll finished. I’ll be living in ‘Deep water and scorching fire” (means extreme misery).

_________________________________________________________________________

Woman: Do you agree with the saying that women are made of water?

Man: I do.

Woman: But I’ve never felt that I’m made of water.

Man: Because you are a pool of dead water.

Woman: I’ve a bad habit which I hope you’ll tolerate. I never go out in the same dress twice.

Man: I also have a bad habit which I hope you’ll tolerate. I never take the same woman twice.

_________________________________________________________________________

Woman: You’re too hesitant. Can’t you make up you mind faster?

Man: Of course, I can. If only you don’t change your mind as fast.

Man: You look awful with your spectacles.

Woman: I know. But without the spectacles, I wouldn’t be able to see how awful you are.

Woman: Do I look better without glasses?

Man: You look better when I’m without glasses.

Woman: A woman’s life is ruined if she doesn’t get marry.

Man: A man’s life is ruined if he gets married.

Woman: There’s always a woman behind every successful man.

Man: What about behind an unsuccessful man?

Woman: Too many women.

Woman: You resemble my ex-boyfriend in many ways.

Woman: Why do you choose me as your girl friend?

Man: You don’t resemble my ex-girlfriend in any way.
