The way I heard it, it goes:

        There are these two Chinese brothers, the Wongs, who decide to open
a paint store. They make all their own paints, and the colors are wonderful,
vibrant reds, lush greens, sunset oranges, but the white, which is what most
people buy, was dingy. Even their gloss white was off-white. So business was
bad, and finally they went bankrupt.

        the moral: Two Wongs can't make a white!

P.S. You can make it into the usual 3 episode thing by adding how they
tried a laundry business, but couldn't get clothes white enuf, but I can't
remember the third thing (make one up).
