A bit of humour

Possibly not. We have seen dog on the menu in China. Back in our early visits from 1981 on it was not uncommon. there were some other things we declined to eat. One dish in Xian had no translation but when we asked were told it was mouse..
Those things are becoming much less common. there is a yearly dog festival which is steadily declining in popularity.

Appreciate it's a local "delicacy" in some parts of the world, but surely not on an international flight....?

The menu item, however, was not dog, but imported dog food. Completely different.

If you are travelling around Vietnam, hidden but in plain sight as you walk around. Restaurants that smell amazing as you walk past with an extensive menu but a large sign outside saying "thịt cay" - every dish is likely dog meat but prepared in different ways.

Not so common in Korea nowadays but used to be restaurants with puppies in a cage - pick one and the chef would prepare a dish for you (similar to fish in a tank in a Chinese restaurant)

Imported French?

Surely that's a typo.... (but I'm struggling to think what the correct text could/should be??)

Imported Exported - perhaps?

OK I googled the China Eastern mistranslation - its supposed to be "Imported Cured Meat with Ocra"

An Indian, a Muslim and a lawyer were on a road trip when their car breaks down. Fortunately there's a farmhouse nearby, so they go and knock on the door to see if they could stay the night.

"You boys can stay," says the farmer, "but I've only got beds for two. One of you is going to have to sleep in the barn." The Indian shrugs and picks up his pillow and blanket and heads to the barn.

Ten minutes later, there's a knock at the door. It's the Indian. "There's a cow in the barn, I can't sleep there - my religion prohibits it." So the Muslim shrugs and picks up his pillow and blanket and heads to the barn.

Ten minutes after that, there's a knock at the door. It's the Muslim. "There's a pig in the barn, I can't sleep there - my religion prohibits it." So the lawyer shrugs and picks up his pillow and blanket and heads to the barn.

Ten minutes later, there's a knock at the door. It's the cow and the pig.

I can not shop at Costco anymore )

Yesterday I was at Costco buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Necco, the Wonder Dog, which weighs 191 lbs. I was in the check-out line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I had an elephant?

So because I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms. I told her that it was essentially a Perfect Diet and that the way that it works is, to load your jacket pockets with Purina Nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.)

Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care, because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stopped to Pee on a Fire Hydrant and a car hit me,

I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard.

Costco won't let me shop there anymore. Better watch what you ask retired people. They have all the time in the World to think of crazy things to say.
