You can have that birthday in your choice of massage parlors in Las Vegas.

Much cheaper here, I bet.

Probably alot riskier, too. But I have been to some karaoke bars here where the "hostesses" are just absurdly talented.

I said I think that is the dumbest thing I have heard in years.
dirty stinking chinese.....

I thought it was custom in China that the Birthday person gives gifts, not receives gifts. So maybe they thought he bought the cake for them. But, that does not make a very funny story. Sorry if I killed it.

Nah, they knew the deal. We've been doing it for years. They just wanted to eat the cake.

Maybe they figured the round eye (you) would say to himself self "gee I never knew that" I'm picking up the culture faster than I thought.
