The Zen Wisdom of Charlie Chan

Also in his spare time, Charlie is an expert animal whisperer.

'Also, as your honorable mother often points out, I am morbidly obese.'

See, he totally coulda gone for the bolting the barn door after the horse is gone metaphor, and he came up with something original. Ya gotta love Charlie.

'Also, your lucky numbers are 15, 23, and 54.'

And then Charlie Chan hit him with an empty barrel.

Because that's the way Charlie rolls. Unlike, say, his Number One Daughter, who uses sex appeal to trap a crook:

Uh uh, you can't trick Charlie Chan, Lex Luthor!

So, in conclusion: traditional Chinese sagacity, everyone!

Wow, Jerry Reed sure has gone downhill after that last 'Bandit' movie.

That was cute! I wonder if Charlie Chan ever took on Foo Manchu, or would that make the world collapse from a stereotype overload?
