When a group of women got on the car,every seat was already occupied.The conductor noticed a man who seemed to be asleep,and fearing he might miss his stop,he nudged him and said:"Wake up,sir!"
"I wasn't asleep," the man answered.
"Not asleep?But you had your eyes closed."
"I know.I just hate to look at ladies standing up beside me in a crowded car."
我沒有睡著
當壹群婦女上車之後,車上的座位全都被占滿了.售票員註意到壹名男子好象是睡著了,他擔心這個人會坐過站,就用肘輕輕地碰了碰他,說:“先生,醒醒!”
“我沒有睡著.”那個男人回答.
“沒睡著?可是妳眼睛都閉上了呀?”
“我知道,我只是不願意看到在擁擠的車上有女士站在我身邊而已.”
2、Class, Lass and Ass
Professor Tom was going to meet his students on the next day, so he wrote some words on the blackboard which read as follows: "Professor Tom will meet the class tomorrow."
A student, seeing his chance to display his sense of humor after reading the notice, walked up and erased the "c" in the word "class." The Professor noticing the laughter, wheeled around, walked back, looked at the student, then at the notice with the "c" erased--calmly walked up and erased the "l" in "lass", looked at the flabbergasted student and proceeded on his way.
湯姆教授打算第二天與他的學生見面,因此他在黑板上寫道:“湯姆教授明天將和大家見面”.
壹位學生看到這條通知後,覺得展示自己幽默感的機會來了,就走上前,將“class”中的“c”擦掉,將意思變為“湯姆教授明天將和情婦見面”.教授聽到笑聲,轉過身走回來,看了看那位學生,又看看被改動過的通知,不動聲色地走上前,把“lass”中的“l”擦掉,將意思改為“湯姆教授明天將和蠢驢見面”.看了看那位目瞪口呆的學生,教授揚長而去.
