A wealthy Chinese merchant had 3 daughters of marriageable age so one 
morning he called them all together and asked the eldest one, "Who would 
you like to marry, my daughter?"

She replied, "Father I want a husband who is brave and fearless and so I 
want him to have 3 Dragons tattooed on his chest!"

And he asked his second eldest daughter, "And you, my darling, what 
about you?"

She replied, "Father I want a husband who will spend more time with me 
and not away fighting wars so I only want one who has only 2 Dragons on 
his chest."

Finally he asked his most favourite and youngest daughter, "And you, my 
sweet?"

"Father, I only want a man with one dragon on the ground..."

Boom, Boom!
