Let Me Hold Your MonkeyA woman got on a bus holding a baby.The bus driver said：“That s the ugliest baby I ve ever seen.”In a huff，the woman slammed her fare into the fare box and took an aisle seat near the rear of the bus.The man seated next to her sensed that she was agitated and asked her what was wrong.“The bus driver insulted me，”she fumed.The man sympathized and said，“Why，he s a public servant and shouldn t say things to insult passengers.”“You re right，”she said.“I think I ll go back up there and give him a piece of my mind.”“That s a good idea，”the man said.“Here，let me hold your monkey.”

To the ExitYoung Chris was definitely more than a bit thick；when his pal asked him how he had enjoyed his day at the zoo，he replied，“What a rip off！I saw a sign that said‘To the Monkeys’，so I followed it and I saw the monkeys.Then I saw another sign that said‘To the Bears’，so I followed that and I saw the bears.But when I followed a sign that said‘To the Exit’，I found myself out in the street.”
出口由此向前小克里斯肯定不只是有点笨。当他的伙伴儿问他在动物园的那天玩得怎样时，他回答说：“真骗钱！我看见一块牌子写着‘看猴由此往前’，我按标牌走，看见了猴子。然后，我看见另一块牌子。上面写着‘看熊由此往前’，我照着走去，看到了熊。但是当我按照写着‘出口由此向前’的牌子走时，我发现自己走到大街上了。”4.出租车

This Hole in the GroundThere was once a farmer who lived near a road.It was not a busy road， but from time to time， cars passed the farm.Near the farm gate， there was a large hole in the road.This hole was always full of water， and the drivers of the cars could not see how deep the hole was. They thought it was probably shallow.Then when they drove into the hole， they could not drive out because it was so deep.The farmer did not spend much time working on his farm. He spent most of it watching the hole.When a car drove into it， he pulled the car out with his tractor and charged the driver a lot of money for doing this.One day， the driver of a car said to him，“You must make a lot of money pulling cars out of this hole night and day.”“Oh，no，”the farmer said.“I don’t pull cars out of the hole at night.At night I fill the hole with water.”
地坑从前，有个农夫住在马路边上。这不是个繁忙的路段，偶尔有汽车从农场路过。就在农场大门的旁边，路当中有个大坑。坑里总是充满了水，汽车司机根本看不出坑有多深。他们会以为很浅。司机们一旦把车开进坑里，就别再想开出来，因为坑太深了。农夫也不怎么在农场里干活，大部分时间他都在注视着这个坑。当一个汽车开进坑里，他就用他的拖拉机把它拉上来，然后为此向司机索要很多钱。一天，一位汽车司机对他说：“你日日夜夜把汽车往外拉，肯定挣了很多钱。”“哦，不，”农夫说，“我夜里不干这活儿，夜里我得朝这坑里注水。”6.乘船

What Did You Do with the Ship？While working on a cruise ship，a magician performed the same tricks each week since he always had a new audience.Problem was，the captain had a parrot who saw each show and had figured out how the magician
did his tricks.“Look，it s in the hat，”the bird would yell.Or，“Hey，all the cards are the ace of spades.”The audience would roar with laughter，angering the magician，but he couldn t do anything since it was the captain s prized parrot.One day，however，the ship hit some foul weather and sank.The magician survived，but he found himself adrifit on a piece of wreckage with the bird.They floated for days without uttering a word until finally the parrot turned to the magician.“Okay，I give up，”it said.“What did you do with the ship？”
你把船怎么着了？一个魔术师在一艘观光船上工作，因为每周有不同的观众，他总是表演着同样的魔术。问题是船长有一只鹦鹉，它看了每一场表演，也看明白了魔术师是怎么表演魔术的。“注意，在帽子里。”这只鸟会大声地叫道。或者说：“嗨，所有的牌都是黑桃A。”观众会哄堂大笑，而这让魔术师很生气，但他又无可奈何，因为它是船长珍爱鹦鹉。但是有一天船碰上了糟糕的天气，沉了。魔术师幸免于难，但却发现自己和这只鹦鹉漂浮在同一块残骸上。他们一起漂流了好几天都说一句话，最后鹦鹉终于开口对魔术师说话了。它说：“好了，我认输了，你怎么把船变成了这个样子？”7.乘游览车

Fred s Last WordsFred was near death.As his condition deteriorated he motioned frantically for something to write on，and the pastor handed him a pen.Fred used his last bit of energy to scribble a note，then died.In the commotion the pastor put the unread note in his pocket.As the pastor was giving the eulogy at Fred s funeral，he realized he was wearing the same jacket as when Fred died.He said，“You know，Ol Fred handed me a note just before he died.I haven t looked at it，but I m sure there s a word of inspiration for us all.”He opened the note，and read aloud，“You re standing on my oxygen tube！”
弗雷德的临终遗言弗雷德病入膏肓。随着病情的恶化，他疯狂地示意要找东西写字，牧师递给了他一只笔。弗雷德用他最后的一点力气潦草地写了一张便条，随后就死了。在紧张混乱中，牧师把还没来得及看的纸条塞到了衣服口袋里。在弗雷德的葬礼上，牧师在致悼词时，意识到自己穿的是弗雷德去世那天穿的衣服。他说：“弗雷德老人在临去世前递给了我一张纸条。我还没看过，但我肯定上面写着鼓舞我们大家的话。”他打开了纸条，大声读道：“你踩着我的输氧管！”
