It's A Funny Business


A Most Awkward First Day for a Street Sweeper

from the Cracked.com website

PuLiChineseEmperor In December 1959, one street in Beijing got a new sweeper named Puyi. He had no experience sweeping, and he didn’t have much experience navigating the streets of Beijing either.

He lost his way, and he asked started asking help from random passersby. With his broom in his hand, he said, “I'm Pu Yi, the last Emperor of the Qing dynasty. I’m staying with relatives and can't find my way home.”

If this sweeper had lost his mind, that might have been a bit embarrassing. The truth was more embarrassing. He wasn’t crazy. He really was the last Emperor of China.
