Wife's Desire

A woman and her husband were out shopping when she realized that she needed to purchase some hair color for her graying hair.

“When are you going to stop buying that expensive stuff，” complained the husband. “and let your hair go gray like Barbara Bush？”

“The day that you're inaugurated，” the wife replied.

妻子的欲望

一位女士在与他的丈夫购物时，她意识到她该为她的灰白头发买些染发水了。

她丈夫抱怨说：“你什么时候才能停止买那些昂贵的东西，而让你的头发长成像芭芭拉·布什（总统夫人）的头发那样灰白呢？”

“那就要等到你就职的那天了。”妻子说。

Both a Mother and a Teacher

I teach middle-school choir and occasionally have my own children in class. One day my son asked if he could have a pencil. As a teacher， I normally do not lend items to unprepared students; but as a mother， I help my children whenever I can. I asked my son whether he was speaking to his teacher or his mother. He replied， “It depends on who has the pencil.”

母亲与教师

我教初中的唱诗班，偶尔会教到自己的孩子。一天，我儿子问我是否能借给他一支铅笔。作为一位老师，我一般不借东西给那些不做课堂准备的学生。但作为一位母亲，我应随时帮助我的孩子。于是，我问儿子他是在跟老师说话，还是在跟母亲说话。而他却说：“那要看谁有铅笔了。”

“Clever” Doctor

As a doctor is examining a patient， his nurse bursts in and says， “Excuse me， but that man you just treated walked out of the door and collapsed on the front step. What should I do？”

“Turn him around，” the doctor answered， “So it looks like he was walking in.”

“聰明的”大夫

大夫正为一个病人做检查时，她的护士闯了进来说：“请原谅，刚才在您这儿看病的那位病人出门时摔在前面的台阶上了，我该怎么办呢？”

大夫回答：“给他转个身，这样，别人看起来会以为他是正往里走。”
