An Canadian, a Frenchman, and a Vietnamese refugee had a discussion about the happiness of life.?
"To me, happiness is returning home on a Monday evening, having a wonderful dinner prepared by my Mom, then slouching on the sofa watching Championship Basketball," the Canadian said.?
"You Canadians are not romantic at all", the French injected, "Spending a lovely evening with my lover, walking along the Seine river, and having a romantic dinner on top of the Eiffel tower. That is happiness of life."?
"You call those things happiness", the Vietnamese said, "then you two still don't understand life at all. Imagine this. You are sleeping soundly at night in Saigon. Then suddenly you hear loud knocks on your front door. You hear loud voices, 'Mr. Nguyen Van Binh, open the door!'. Awaked with fear, you rush out and open the door. Right there, you see two secret policemen ready to handcuff you. One man say to you, 'Mr. Nguyen Van Binh, you are under arrest for your anti-revolutionary activities. You are being sent to there-educational camp for an undetermined period of time. Sweating profusely and shaking uncontrollably, you reply to them, 'Comrades, Mr. Nguyen Van Binh lives next door.' That moment is the ultimate happiness of life, my friends."
