"There Is No Use Chanting Buddha, Ma" joke

Zhai Yongling had a mother who was a devout Buddhist. She would recite the scriptures from morning to night. One day, Yongling got an idea. He pretended to have something to talk to his mother about so he called her while she was chanting the name of Buddha. His mother heard Yongling calling her so she stopped and answered him. However he kept on calling her. His mother finally lost her temper and shouted: "Stop it! Why do you keep calling me like that?" Yongling laughed and replied:" Well, you see, mother, you get angry just because I've called you a few times. Image how angry the Buddha will be when he hears you chanting his name thousands of times a day."
