Smell the Flowers -- Eat the Rice
A sailor, while bringing flowers to a cemetery,
noticed an old Chinese man placing a bowl of rice on a nearby grave.

The sailor walked up to the man and asked,
"When do you expect your friend to come up and eat the rice?"

The old Chinese man replied with a smile,
"Same time your friend comes up to smell the flowers."
