00544 44944

    有一天，一个富豪买了新车，然后为车选车牌号。最后，他选择了00544，因为他发现这个号听起来像是动动我试试。他觉得这个号吉祥，可以保佑他驾驶顺利。但是第二天，他的车就被撞了，他生气地冲那个司机吼道，你瞎了吗，你没看到我的车号吗？ 司机一听就笑了，这时候富豪注意到了那个司机的车牌号44944

    One day, a rich man bought a new car and was busy choosing a license number for the new car, finally, he picked the number of 00544, which he found the number sounds like a menace-try to hit me (if you dare). He thought this number would bring him good luck and would bless him drive safely. But his new car was hitten the next day, the man shouted angrily at the driver who made the accident:“are you blind? Don’t you see my car number?”The driver smiled, and the rich man noticed that the driver’s car number is 44944 which means you want me to try? Then I try(who dares).

    Well, I have added the explanation among the joke above, so now I will just tell you why the two numbers have some special meanings.

    00544 “0”zero can refer to 洞 hole in Chinese dialect in Si Chun Province. And 洞 sounds the same with 动, which can mean touch, hit. “5”five  sounds like “我” me. “4” sounds like “试”try

    So 00544 is 动动我试试，try to hit or touch me, when the person who say this sentence seems angry, you should know he doesn’t really want you to touch him, instead, he is warning you don’t touch him.

   “9”nine pronunces similar with Chinese word “就”,means then. 44944 试试就试试 expresses the person’s feeling-you think I don’t dare to try? Funny.
