Are They Worn Out?
"No," growled the quartermaster, "you can't have a new pair of shoes. The pair you have aren't worn out."
"Not worn out," cried the recruit, " Why, if I step on a dime I can feel if it's head or tails."
还没穿破？
“不行，”军需官大声说：“你不能领一双新鞋子，你穿着的那双还没有穿破。”
“没穿破，”新兵叫道：“为什么？如果我踩到一个一角硬币，我可以知道踩着的那面是公还是字。”

Is He Dying?
A man was sitting in a bar with tears streaming down his face. A friend walked in and asked why he was so unhappy. The weeping one said, "The doctor has just told me I'll have to take these tablets for the rest of my life."
Cheerfully, his friend pointed out that many people have to take tablets every day of their life. "Sure," came the reply, "but he only gave me ten."
他就要死了吗？
一个男人坐在酒吧里痛哭流泪。一个朋友走进来问他为何如此伤心。那人哭着说：“刚才医生告诉我，在我的余生里都要吃这些药片。”
他的朋友很轻松地指出，许多人一辈子每天都要吃药。“当然，”男人回答说：“但是他只给了我十片。” |
