Key to a Happy Life
A woman walked up to a little old man rocking in a chair on his porch.
“I couldn't help noticing how happy you look,”she said.“What's your secret for a long happy life?”
“I smoke three packs of cigarettes a day,”he said.“I also drink a case of whiskey a week,eat fatty foods,and never exercise.”
“That's amazing,”the woman said.“How old are you?”
“Twenty—six,”he said.幸福生活要诀
一个小老头坐在门廊里的椅子上晃来晃去,一位妇女向他走来。
她说:“我不由得注意到您看上去有多幸福。您幸福长寿的秘诀是什么?”
他说:“我一天抽三包烟,一周喝一箱威士忌,吃肥腻的食物,而且从不锻炼。”
“真让人惊奇,”妇女说,“您高寿啦?”
“二十六。”他说。A Mental Patient
After hearing that one of the patients in a mental hospital have saved another from a suicide attempt by pulling him out of a bathtub,the hospital director reviewed the rescuer's file and called him into his office.
“Mr.Haroldson,your records and your heroic behavior indicate that you're ready to go home.I'm only sorry that the man you saved later killed himself with a rope around the neck.”
“Oh,he didn't kill himself,”Mr.Haroldson reˉplied.“I hung him up to dry.”精神病患者
听说一个精神病患者把另一个企图自杀的患者从浴缸中救了出来,精神病院院长审查了救人者的病历,并把他叫到了自己的办公室。
“哈罗德森先生,你的档案和英雄行为证明你可以回家了。唯一的遗憾是,你救的那人后来上吊自尽了。”
“噢,他不是自杀,”哈罗德森先生说。“是我把他吊起来晾一晾。”The Twins
Two ten—year—old children were exactly opposite:Bill was a die—hard optimist,and Bob a hopeless pesˉsimist.
The mom asked the psychiatrist what to do about Christmas.The docˉtor told her to buy all the toys she could for Bob and get Bill nothing.In fact,he said just to wrap up some manure for Bill to break down his hopes even more.
Christmas morning,Mom came downstairs and found the twins by the tree.She asked Bob what Santa had brought him.
“A B.B.gun,but I'll probably hit someone in the eye and blind him.And a bicycle,but I'll probably get run over and killed while riding it.And an electric train,but I'll probably electrocute myself,”said Bob.
Realizing it wasn't going very well,the mom turned to Bill and asked what he got.“I'm not sure!”he replied,“I think I got a pony,but I haven't been able to find him yet!”双胞胎
两个10岁的孩子性格完全相反:比尔是个顽固不化的乐天派,而鲍勃是个不可救药的悲观者。
他们的母亲问心理医生圣诞节该怎么办。医生告诉她尽可能给鲍勃买各种玩具,而比尔什么都不要给买。事实上,他说,就给比尔包些马粪来,进一步冲淡他的希望。
圣诞节早晨,母亲下楼,发现这对双胞胎站在圣诞树旁。她问鲍勃,圣诞老人给他带来了什么礼物。
鲍勃说:“一把BB型气枪,但我可能会打瞎某个人的眼睛。还有一辆自行车,可我骑车时可能会被撞死。还有一辆电动火车,但是我可能触电。”
意识到情况不太妙,母亲转向比尔,问他得到了什么礼物。他回答说:“我不大清楚!我想我得到了一匹小马驹,但我没能找到它!”(刘宗亚提供)
