A: Yeah, but Xinjiang is much bigger. And don't forget, my parents gave births to 12 children.

B: My parents bore 10. But I have 6 brothers, you only have 5.

A: Yeah, but I have 7 sisters.

B: I drive a Japanese car.

A: Mine is German. It's much bigger in size.

B: But my car is efficient, saves gas.

A: When I drive a car, I care not about gas.

B: It's not the gas, it's the environment.

A: I care more about the environment than you do. I went to pick up garbage in the mountains last summer.

B: I care about the environment more than you do – I have used only two plastic bags this month.

A: I use paper bags. Paper bags are more environmental than plastic, everybody knows it.

B: I plan to use my bare hands the next time I go to the supermarket.

A: Since college, I've gained on average a half kilo per year for the past 20 years.

B: That's nothing. I've gained 3 kilos per year.

A: Actually, I don't want the extra kilo. I've been trying to lose it for the past year.

B: I've been trying to lose 30 kilos, for five years.

A: Don't get me wrong. I am not worried about my weight.

B: I'm not at all worried about my weight. Every night, I sleep well on it.

A: Thing is, I have failed – Since I've embarked on this lose-a-kilo campaign, I've gained a kilo instead.
