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？”

"You can't imagine how difficult it is for me to deal with my wife," the man complained to his friend. "She asks me a question, then answers it herself, and after that she explained to me for half an hour why my answer is wrong.
可憐的丈夫
