I feel like I'm missing some cultural context. But it reminds me of Blackadder's "I love [my daughter] more than any pig" (which kinda makes sense in context).WWGD said:

Fromk what I understand, it was a dating show from Chinese TV. Though I can't imagine any context other than an agricultural show where it would make sense and fit in.Ibix said:

I thought Chinese people are devoted to corn as Irish people are devoted to rice - not at all.

It is more of a set-up. I have no idea what to do with 80% ethanol, but I assume it is supposed to be mixed with something. But you shouldn't order 'Korn' in Germany unless you want to get drunk.WWGD said:

Whenever my wife got mad and started harping, I would just smile and say "Yes my love". Then she would get even madder and stomp her feet. And I would just smile and say "Yes my love". Then her face and ears would get all red as she got even angrier. And as she spun around and stormed off to slam a door, I would just smile and say "Yes my love". Course we're divorced now but that sure was funny!

At this point in time I'm not sure if it's illegal to walk into a bank wearing a mask, or not wearing a mask.
