The Politician's Accident
A bus load of politicians were driving down a country road one afternoon,when all of a sudden,the bus ran off the road and crashed into a tree in an old farmer's field.
Seeing what happened,the old farmer went over to investigate.He then proceeded to dig a hole and bury the politicians.
A few days later,the local sheriff came out,saw the crashed bus,and asked the old farmer,“Were they all dead?”
The old farmer replied,“Well,some of them said they weren't,but you know how they politicians lie.”政客出车祸
一天下午,一辆满载政客的汽车沿着乡间公路行驶,突然,汽车偏离路面,撞到老农田里的一棵树上。
老农目睹了所发生的一切,走过去看个究竟。随后,他挖了一个坑,把政客们给埋了。
几天后,当地县的治安官出巡,看见撞毁的汽车,问老农:“他们都死了?”
农夫回答说:“他们有些人说自己没有死,但你知道,他们政客惯于说谎。”The Amazing Invention
An American who finds himself in Moscow wants to know the time.He sees a man approaching him carrying two heavy suitcases and asks the fellow if he knows the correct time.
“Certainly,”says the Russian,setting down the two bags and looking at his wrist.“It is 11:43 and 17 seconds.The date is Feb.13,the moon is nearing its full phase and atmospheric pressure stands at 992 hectopascals and is rising.”
The visitor is dumbfounded but manages to ask if the watch that provides all this information is Japanese.No,he is told,it is“our own,a product of Soviet Technology.”
“Well,that is wonderful,you are to be congratulated.”
“Yes,”the Russian answers,straining to pick up the suitcases,“but these batteries are still a little heavy.”神奇的发明
一位身在莫斯科的美国人想打听一下时间。他看见有人拎着两个很重的手提箱朝他走来,便问他是否知道确切时间。
“当然,”那位俄罗斯人说,他放下两个箱子,看了看表。“现在是11点43分17秒。日期是2月13日,接近满月,大气压为992百帕,而且还在上升。”
美国游客惊呆了,但还是问能提供所有这些信息的这块表是不是日本造的。他得到的回答是,不,这是“我们自己造的,是苏联技术的产物”。
“喔,真了不起,可贺,可贺。”
“是呀,”俄罗斯人答道,使劲拎起两个箱子,“可这些电池还是有点沉。”(刘宗亚提供)TheMugging
