From this book:

50. Lifesaving Humour
Senior scholar Xing was so short he was nicknamed Xing the Short. One day he encountered a band of robbers by Poyang Lake. Taking away all he had with him, they were going to kill him. Just as the broadsword was being raised, Xing, betraying no fear, exclaimed in a humorous way, "Everybody calls me Xing the Shorty. If you cut off my head, won't I be come ever shorter?" Amused at the remark, the band burst out laughing. The raised sword was lowered and he freed.

80. "Where's My Perspiration Gone?"
One hot summer day a wealthy fat man lay in a pavilion trying to keep cool, but it was so hot that perspiration kept running down his body. He asked a servant to fan him. The servant cooled him with a large fan. After a while, the rich man felt much ccooler. Touching his body with his hand he found all his perspiration had gone. In surprise, he asked, "Where's my perspiration gone?" Using all his might to fan the rich man, the servant was sweating all over. He replied humorously, "Master, your perspiration has moved to my body."

Very good Chinese humour, lessons on wisdom. :)...
