A Duck in a Convenience Store
One duck walked into a convenience store and asked the clerk, “Do you have any grapes?” The clerk said no, and the duck left.
The next day, the duck returned and asked, “Do you have any grapes?” The clerk again said no, and the duck left.
The day after that, the duck walked in the store again and asked, “Do you have any grapes?” The clerk screamed at the duck, “Youve come in here the past two days and asked if we had any grapes. I told you every time that we dont have any grapes. I bet if you ask again next time Ill nail your webbed feet to the floor!”
The duck left, and returned the next day. This time he asked, “Do you have any nails?”
The clerk replied, “No.”
The duck said, “Good! Got any
grapes?”
逛便利店的鴨子
一只鴨子走進一家便利店,問店員說:“有葡萄賣嗎?”店員說沒有,鴨子就走了。
第二天,鴨子又來了,問:“有葡萄賣嗎?”店員又說沒有,鴨子就走了。
第三天,鴨子又走進這家店,問:“有葡萄賣嗎?”店員對鴨子喊道:“你前兩天就來這里問我有沒有葡萄賣。我每次都告訴你沒有!我發誓,如果你再敢來問有沒有葡萄,我就用釘子把你那雙腳蹼釘在地板上!”
鴨子走了,第四天又回來了。這次問道:“有釘子嗎?”店員回答道:“沒有。”
鴨子說:“太好了!有葡萄賣嗎?”
An Advertisement for Modern Bicycle
Tom saw an advertisement in a newspaper for a beautiful modern bicycle which cost £50, so he went to the shop to have a look.
After examining the bicycle carefully, Tom turned to the shopkeeper and said, “There isnt a lamp on this bicycle, but there was one on the bicycle in your advertisement.” “Yes, sir,” answered the shopkeeper, “but the lamp isnt included in the price of the bicycle. Its an extra.”
“Not included in the price of bicycle?” Tom said angrily. “But thats not honest. If the lamps in the advertisement, it should have been included in the price you gave there.”
“Well, sir,” answered the shopkeeper calmly, “there is also a girl on the bicycle in our advertisement; shall we supply one for you too?”
摩登自行車廣告
湯姆在報紙上看到一個很漂亮的摩登自行車的廣告,標價50英鎊,于是他到商店去看一看。
湯姆很仔細地看完那輛自行車后,轉過身對店主說:“這輛自行車少了一盞燈,但在廣告上的自行車是有的。” “是的,先生,”店主回答說,“但那盞燈不包括在自行車的價格里面,是另外收費的。”
“不包括在自行車價格里面?”湯姆很生氣,“但這是不誠實的。如果燈在廣告上,它就應該包括在你所標出的價格之內。”
“嗯,先生,”店主冷靜地回答:“在我們的自行車廣告上還有一個女孩,難道我們也要為您提供一個嗎?”
