A time for Cheng Meng


Uncle Chong at the graveyard during Cheng Meng while burning joss money, remarks, "Joss money nowadays look so real,  I'm almost reluctant to burn it."

Soon after,  his wife calls his mobile, "Hey, I thought you went for Cheng Meng.  Why is the joss money still on the table?   And what happened to the 60K that I withdrew yesterday?"

Uncle bangs his head against the tombstone and cries till he faints.

Passersby say, "Such filial piety! Hardly see nowadays."

Later that night,  his grandfather appears in his dream.

"Grandson, What have you done? What currency have you sent me?  I'm now in police lockup here.

They're accusing me of using counterfeit money!"
