This joke is not so bad, but I can't laugh because of ever increasing imbalance in China's male and female populations. In short, young Chinese women are in short supply here in the PRC now, so it may be said that today's joke is an epitome of this demographic problem. "Boy-meets-girl" is not one of those things anymore in China.
