I Speak Banana

I was driving out to dinner the other day. My fellow housemates, KW, CH and KK, as well as Dr. Tan tagged along. I had Mika's Life in Cartoon Motion playing in the player, when suddenly the quacky Dr. Tan spoke up.

Dr. Tan: Bong, do you even listen to Chinese songs?
KW: Of course, he even got a Hokkien song in his handphone.
Me: I'm a banana.
Dr. Tan: You're a banana? But you don't speak banana...
Me: Huh? I do speak. Ba. Na. Na.
Dr. Tan: No power...

Fellow housemates cracked up. And I tried to control myself. Sooner or later, Dr. Tan will need full-fledge defense when 3 guys talk sarcasm to her at dinner table. And by the 3 guys, I mean the 3 housemates in the car.

Prince of Darkness, Chinese who can't read Chinese but can speak Chinese are called banana because they are yellow on the outside, but "white" on the inside. That means they only know how to read, speak and listen to English.

By the way, "James" Bong, you have been tagged to do a meme.
