Help me settle this!

My husband and I are having a stupid debate over whether the old saying is "What's that got to do with the price of tea in China?" or if it's the price of rice in China.
Someone help us out here!

I always said TEA

**imported_elp6n** · August 7th, 2005, 10:08 AM

Tea.

Rice. Never heard tea. Chinese and rice are more common I'd say. It'd be more like price of tea in England.

What's that got to do with the price of tea in China.

That is what I have always heard.
Who is winning the argument?

It is tea- the point is "Is the item relevant to the conversation?" and the price of rice in China is. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] So asking about tea in China , usually means the person doesn't see the connection between the two parts.
