BEIJING: An entrepreneurial businessman in east China’s Nanjing city has had immense success with a bar where customers can have a good cry for the price of 50 yuan ($9) an hour, state media said Wednesday.
The “Cry Bar” features nothing but a couple of tables and a sofa, plus loads of tissue paper for the tears shed by the customers, the China News Service reported.
The owner, Luo Jun, used to run a marriage agency, only to discover that many of his clients had an immense desire to cry but could not find the right opportunity — and the idea for the bar was born.
The news service quoted a customer as saying he was visiting the bar for the third time, always finding it a great way to shake off some of the pressure he was feeling in his daily life.

Sorry – saw it happen in a film once.
Got into tremendous trouble after trying to copy something I saw in another film where some guy assaulted another with a bear trap: you’d think they’d put a disclaimer up somewhere that this sort of act shouldn’t really be copied in the playground…;)

They probably thought it was conterfeit; you should have used £-Sterling – it is in very common usage all over this country…;)

Laugh or cry
The last time I cried for $9 was when I bought a gallon of petrol in the U.K.:)
