I was not able to understand Danny's (Billy Boyd's) accent when he told the set-up for the Bangkok joke. Could someone post the entire joke for the accent-challenged? Thanks!

"Man who goes through airport turnstile sideways is going to Bangkok".

Chan had just laid a legitimate Chinese proverb on the boys when Danny decided to share one of his own. What made the scene even funnier was that it took Norman 30 seconds to catch on.

Bangkok. Bwuhahaha...

I think it had been so long since Norman got it he'd forgotten what to do with it.

You can google "Confucious Say" and get tons of these jokes, like "man who walk around all day with hands in pockets, feel cocky!" "man who f*rt in church, must sit in his own pew!" I like 'em! This movie got pretty heavy at times, so any opportunity for levity was appreciated by me. 8/10.
