The Sunday Giveaway: 2 Tickets to Chinglish on Broadway!

Ok, quick tell me what this actual sign found in China is trying to say:

I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face.

Got a guess?  The answer is . . 

Keep off the grass.

And that's Chinglish!

I couldn't think of two more divergent cultures than Chinese and American.  Which is exactly why it's the perfect subject for a play.  Comedy is born in that kind of contrast, and there's no better writer to tackle it than Tony Winner David Henry Hwang.  

And tackle it he did.  After a super sold-out and extended run at The Goodman Theatre in Chi-town, where it got these kind of reviews, Chinglish starts previews on Broadway this week.  

And yes, I am one of the Producers.

And yes, I have two tickets to give away!

Here's how it'll work. I'm going to give you a Chinglish expression.  You tell me what you think it means.  No gheating (google cheating).  Ok?  

Here goes!

Penetration will be dealt with painfully.

Translate!  (Then go see Chinglish on Broadway!)
