Beard Vote, etc...

Those of you in China know that through a combination of laziness and... well, just laziness really, I have let my facial hair grow out of control for the last month. I'd say that we're in the full-on homeless beard range now. Basically, its do-or-die time for the beard. In the interest of entertainment, I have decided to leave the fate of my beard in your hands (my loyal readers). Each of you can vote (by blog comment, email, gchat, skype or in person) to either keep the beard or shave it off and I will abide (like The Dude) by your decision. One caveat - Emma's special privilege earns her 5 votes. Here are some pictures of the current beard...

Right side sans goofy grin

This is the look I use to scare little Chinese children (then they yell hu zi!)
Emma designed some sweet shorts with the Shanghai Huwa frog on them. The order just arrived a couple days ago. Check it out!!!


Last, but not least, here is yesterday's joke of the day that made me laugh. Hope you enjoy it too!

A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a man below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him half an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man below replied, "You are in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You are between 40 and 42 degrees north latitude and between 58 and 60 degrees west longitude."

"You must be an engineer," said the balloonist.

"I am," replied the man, "but how did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost."

The man below responded, "You must be a manager."

"I am," replied the balloonist, "how did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are exactly in the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."
