You're Sooo Asian!!

“Here you go Teddy,” I said, tossing him his mail.
We share a mailbox and happened to have a paystub and red envelope a piece.

I opened the red envelope first revealing a holiday card from my two nurse managers. Well, that was nice!
I turned to my paystub next.

Teddy was opening the red envelope and looking inside. “What’s this?” he asked.
“No money in there,” I replied, “I already checked.”

“What?? But…they’re red envelopes!!” he exclaimed.

“Man, you’re so asian.”

(For those of you who don’t get why this is funny, in Asian traditions, on holidays or birthdays, people often times receive red envelopes from family members with money inside as a sign of good luck and fortune.)
