“You know Chinese people, we invented gunpowder. We invented fireworks. Chinese people, we invented chopsticks. We invited chopsticks because forks are too easy. I don’t know about you, but I enjoy a challenge when I’m doing a daily activity that’s required for my survival. What is that, a spoon? Get that shit away from me, you p*ssy. I enjoy drinking soup with two sticks.” — Ronny Chieng at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival
