1.Why did the person throw a clock out the window?
- to see time fly
（time fly，字面是“时间飞行”，实际是“时光流逝”。）
2.What time is it when a pie is divided among four friends?
- 12:45
（a quarter to one 是一点钟差一刻的意思，但也可以看成是一人拿1/4。）
3.What nail should you never hit with a hammer?
- fingernail
4.What ring is square?
- boxing ring (拳击圈)
5.Why is the sun like a loaf of bread?
- Because it’s light when it rises.
(双关：如果是太阳，就是说，升起的时候天就亮了
如果是面包，rise 是发的意思，也就是说，面包发起来的时候会变得很轻。）
6.What is the difference between here and there?
- The letter “t”. ( there 去掉“t”，跟 here 这个字就没什么两样。)
7.What are the strongest days of the week?
- Saturday and Sunday --- all the other days are weak (week) days.
( weak与 week的发音一样。而美国人的工作天只有五天，即从 Monday到 Friday ，这五天是他们的week days.)
8.Why did the man put wheels on his rocking chair?
- Because he wanted to rock and roll. （ to rock and roll是跳摇滚舞。但在这儿，摇rock 的是rocking chair，滚 roll的是 wheels。这就造成了一句双关的趣味。）
9.Why is the letter "R" like Christmas?
- Because it comes at the end of December.
(对这句话而言，答案的意思是R这个字母正好排在December的末尾。除此以外，答案还有一个意思，Christmas在the end of December的时候到来。换言之，答案也造成了一句双关的趣味。）
10.What time of day was Adam born?
- Just before Eve. ( Eve 是一语双关，一是解“晚间”， 一是解“夏娃”。)
