Fun in Chinese restaurants

I once ate Dim Sum in a Chinese restaurant downtown.

Nice place...good food (except the rice wrapped in grape leaves, BLECH!) Even had decent prices, considering the food and service.

One problem, the bill arrived in Chinese, despite the obvious fact that I cannot speak, read or write Chinese. I can use chopsticks well, but that doesn't qualify me to read and check a bill written in a foreign (to me) language. In an annoyed protest, I took a pen and made random marks on the bill, likely changing it to mean totally ludicrous things, paid the number at the bottom, left a good tip and went off.

Hopefully before they came after me with the kitchen knives.
