If anyone on this board is able & willing, perhaps they could read the sign for us and send a letter to that address in the proper Chinese dialect? The people probably just don't feel like hoisting the roundie into the dumpster, or having to buy a new table for the other TV.

I'm pretty sure the sign in the window says "Yip Yu" (transliterating the sound from Cantonese), which translates as "Part Time". Not sure what they mean by it in this context.

Way to work a deal sir.

On a side note, though... Every time I'm in San Fran there seems to be no problem smoking about anywhere. The social establishments I've frequented simply specify (after about 10 pm) that there be no ashtrays. Put yer butt in a bottle. If they don't enable, it ain't their fault! (so the thinking goes...)

Strangely enough I haven't experienced this in LA.

p.s. I'm glad I won't be around when you hit that chassis with air!
