Default Re: Head-scratcher?

Kinda reminds me of a story from an American buyer touring a Chinese factory he was planning to order electric motors from...
He was touring the assembly line for 2 and 4 HP motors with the manager, watching 2 HP motors go together down the line...at the end, the last worker was taking decals that said "2HP" from a box and slapping one on each motor. The American asked the manager to describe the difference between the 2HP and 4HP motors, but before the manager could answer the worker at the decal bench, without even looking up, reached into a second box under his bench and slapped a "4HP" on the next motor...
