No Air Conditioning Service
A customer was bothering the waiter in a restaurant.First he asked that the air conditioning be turned up because he was too hot，then he asked it be turned down because he was too cold，and so on for about half an hour.
Surprisingly，the waiter was very patient，he walked back and forth and never once got angry.Finally a second customer asked him why he didn't throw the git out.
“Oh，I don't care，”said the waiter with a smile，“we don't even have an air conditioner.”
根本就没有空调
有位顾客存心刁难服务员，一会儿说太热了叫他把空调开得高一些，一会儿又说太冷了要开得低一些，如此反复了大概有半个多小时。奇怪的是服务员却非常耐心，他来来去去的从不生气。最后另一位顾客问他为什么不把那个傻家伙扔出去。
服务员笑着说：“其实我倒无所谓，因为我们这里根本就没有空调。”

No Bread
The Governor made room on his busy calendar to hear the pleas of one Mrs.Smith that her husband be released from the state penitentiary.“What was he sentenced for？”asked the Governor gently.
“For stealing a loaf of bread，”nervously replied the offender's wife.
“Is he a good husband？”
“No，”she replied frankly，blushing a bit.“He beats me when he gets drunk，he bullies our children，he's unfaithful，and really not much good at all.”
“It sounds to me as though you're better off without him，”said the Governor，“Why on earth do you want him out of jail？”
“Well，”she explained，“we're out of bread again.”没有面包
州长从他繁忙的日程表中挤出空儿来，听史密斯夫人请求把她丈夫从州监狱中释放出来。“他为什么被判刑？”州长轻轻地问。
“因为偷了一条面包。”这个犯人的妻子紧张地回答。
“他是个好丈夫吗？”
“不，”她坦白地回答，有一点害羞。“他喝醉了酒就打我，他惊吓我们的孩子，他还没有信仰，简直是一无是处。”
“在我听来好像没有他你会过得更好，”州长说，“那你到底为什么还想让他出监狱呢？”
“呃，”她解释说，“我们又没有面包了。”

The Secret of Fast Drinking
A bloke walks into a pub and orders ten shots of vodka，no ice.As the landlord hands them over he crashes them down，one after another.“Are you all right？”asks the landlord，“Why are you drinking so fast？”The bloke replies，“You'd understand if you knew what I had in my pocket.”Thoroughly perplexed，the landlord asks，“So what do you have in your pocket？”The bloke grimaces and says，“A grand total of 25P.”

Mom was very proud that she’d lost ten pounds. On the way to the store with my husband and me she talked of little else. We dropped her off in the lingerie department， but when we returned， we couldn’t find her. Thinking she might be in the fitting room， I asked the saleswoman if she had seen my mother. “What does she look like？" the clerk asked.
My husband said simply， “She just lost ten pounds.”
“Third door on the left.”the woman replied with a smile.

妈妈为她减肥10磅而非常自豪。在和我们小两口一起去商场的路上，她别无所谈。我们把她送到女内衣部，在那儿分手，但当我们回来找她时，却找不见她。我想她也许会在试衣室，就问售货员小姐是否见过我母亲。“她长得什么样？”这位售货员问。
我丈夫直截了当地说：“她刚刚减了10磅。”
“左边第三个门。”女售货员笑眯眯地回答。
