One day Ah Lien went to the Emporium to look for knee-high stockings and approached a salesgirl.
Ah Lien: Loo ooh buay stocking kao knee boh? (Do you sell stockings reaching the knee?)
Salesgirl: Kao nee? Kao yeo, ooh. Boh kao nee eh! (Up to the breasts ("nee")? Up to the waist, got. Don't have up to the breasts, one!)
Ah Lien, realising her mistake, quickly corrected herself: Mm si tng nang eh 'nee'... si ang-mor eh 'knee'!
(means: not Chinese 'nee'... English 'knee'! But actually sounds like: Not Chinese breasts... I mean Caucasian breasts!)
