I received a call the other night:
Fortune: Hello?
Telemarketer lady: (in Mandarin) Are you the head of household?
Fortune: Sorry, I don't understand Chinese
Telemarketer lady: Oh. (hangs up)
I had to laugh, because if Telemarketer Lady actually took a second to think about my response, she'd realize that the only way I'd know she was speaking Chinese is if I understood it.
Then I waited a few minutes in fear that she would call me back and call me out on my subterfuge. She didn't.
