Surprise!

There was this British guy who hired three people for his coal mine, an Indian, a Malay and a Chinese. He designated the three of them to three separate tasks: the Indian was to be in charge of logistics; coach and rails etc, the Malay was given the task to set up the lighting and the Chinese was to overlook the supplies.

After 2 months, the Brit came back to visit his coal mine and to inspect on whether his men had carried out their chores properly. He rode in a coach and he was pleased with it. He praised the Indian for his work. As he rode into the coal mine in the coach, he noticed that the mine was well lit, and gave the Malay a pat on the back. But as he was riding further inwards, he realised someone was mising, the Chinese. "Where is the Chinaman? He's supposed to be in charge of the supplies. How could he be absent?!" He asked furiously.

Suddenly, the Chinese popped from nowhere and yelled "SUPPLIES!!!"

This is an old joke I heard quite some time ago and I remember laughing really hard at it. But what made me laugh even harder was the fact that the person who told me this joke was my cousin Daren, who happens to be half Chinese. And the best part is, he was unable to pronounce the letter 'R' for the first few years of his childhood. So listening to such a joke from a person who experienced such a situation before just made matters worse, worse as in funny just got funnier.
