Inscrutable JOW

My friend Bill sent me the first joke below; it got me wondering – why don’t I know more Chinese jokes, that is Chinese jokes that are funny. Well, I pondered and come up with a few. Note that I did not include the ‘Must be a Panda’ joke. I have some standards; they may be low but I have some.

Now here is Bill’s joke:

A couple go for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and order the 'Chicken Surprise',
The waiter brings the meal, served in a lidded cast iron pot.
Just as the wife is about to serve herself, the lid of the pot rises slightly and she briefly sees two beady little eyes looking around before the lid slams back down.
'Good grief, did you see that?' she asks her husband. He hadn't, so she asks him to look in the pot. He reaches for it and again the lid rises, and he sees two little eyes looking around before it slams down.
Rather perturbed, he calls the waiter over, explains what is happening, and
Demands an explanation.
'Please sir,' says the waiter, 'what you order?'
The husband replies, 'Chicken Surprise.'
'Ah! So sorry,' says the waiter, 'I bring you Peeking Duck!'

"How come you have a name like Hans Schmidt?" inquired the stranger.
"Is simple," says the old Chinese fellow. "Many, many year ago when come to this country, stand in immigration line behind a big German guy. Immigration lady look at him and go, "What your name?"
He say, "Hans Schmidt."
Then she look at me and go, 'What your name?'"
"I say, Sam Ting."

There once was a chicken farmer who lived in a small village in China.
One year, all of his chickens were afflicted with a strange blight that caused them to lose their feathers. The farmer was deeply concerned about this, because winter was coming, and, if the chickens had no feathers, they would freeze to death. So, the farmer decided to consult the two wisest men in the land.
First, he visited Mr. Ching, the renowned scholar. Mr. Ching leafed through all his agricultural and medicinal texts and pored over books and scrolls well into the night. Finally, he returned to the farmer and told him that, if he crushed the leaves of a gum tree into powder, made it into tea, and fed it to his chickens, they would be cured.
The farmer then went to the head of the Ming family, reputed to be the wisest in the land. The patriarch, Mr. Ming, talked to all his many relations and after much consultation they came up with the answer: "Tea made from gum leaves will cause feathers to stick to chicken."
Now the farmer was ecstatic. The two wisest men in the land had given him exactly the same prescription.
So, as soon as he returned home, he took some gum leaves and made tea from them. He mixed this with the chicken feed and fed it to his chickens. But it didn't work. The chickens continued to lose their feathers, and, with the onset of winter, they all froze.
The moral of this story:
"All of Ching's courses and all of Ming's kin couldn't get gum tea to feather a hen.
