A german Thomas Awe married a Chinese wife. One day he met an old man.So they had a small talk.
Old Man: What is your surname ?
Thomas: My surname is Awe
Old Man: Awe what?
Thomas: Why?Do I need to explain why my surname is Awe?
Do you confuse? Don’t worry. I will explain it for you.
In Chinese language, 魏 and 为 have the same pronunciation but the different meanings. 魏is one family name of Chinese people’s. In this joke the old man asked Thomas what was his whole name saying that 魏什么？（wèi shén me）, but Thomas misunderstood it. He thought the old man asked him 为什么（wèi shén me）, which means why. So Thomas confuse that: why? Do I need to explain why my surname is Awe?
