Speaking in China
Communicating in most instances is something quite unremarkable, yet when a saucer is passed your way, in sobriety, with “U SUX” delicately cast in the middle of a saucer, one can either become highly offended, or amazed at the lengths people will go to make a lasting or meaningful impression.
Sarah in local café takes it upon her self to move beyond conventional talk to get to the core of how she feels about a moment or person in a day.
Is this a case of speaking in china, or a waitress’s idea of having the last word.

where’s the ‘love you’, ‘have a nice day’ n ‘thanks for the tip’ :-)
The messages are in jest for friends and the familiar I gather. However your comment crosses over to issues found in humour in general – why are dark and negative things funny, while being nice doesn’t seem to pull the laughs.
