Truthful Chinese

A Chinaman is much like a country negro. Don't ever ask him a direct question, if you don't want a direct and truthful reply. The fact that the answer may not be fattering to him who asks the guestion, does not enter into the proposition in the least. Jimmy Swinnerton says that a Navajo Indian is the same way. He'll tell you the truth, regardless of how embarrassing it may be. But this is a Chinese story.
