I found this funny joke 由 阅读 a book called "chat...chat...chat!". This is only a joke okay? I'm not really serious of what I wrote here.

Let's face it-english is a crazy language.
There's no egg in 茄子 或者 ham in hamburger.
There is neither 苹果 nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins were not made in England.
French 烤面包, 吐司 and French fries? Nope, not form France.
Quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square,and a guinea pig is neither from guinea nor it is a pig.
And why it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce,...
