a) It's not racist anyway. You were doing a voice of someone who just had dentist work.

Just thinking about that joke. If you say two thirty quickly over and over again it sounds like tooth hurty anyway - where did the Chinese bit come in - it doesn't involve the usual "l" or "r". Or maybe I am just overthinking it

Hmmm. What if I put a lampshade on my head, pull my eyes into slits and start saying 'Ahh-so. I am Ching-Chong Chinaman'?
