An old couple went into a restaurant and ordered something to
eat:one Coca Cola and one portion of French fries. The old man
sat down and the woman, his wife, sat opposite him, and he
began to divide the Coca Cola into two glasses, half for him and
half for his wife. He divided all the French fries half-and-half. He
gave half to his wife and kept half for himself. Then he began to
eat and drink,and the woman just drank but didn't eat.
There was a young man who was standing next to the table and
wondering why the old man had divided everything in half, and
he thought that maybe they didn't have any money. He said to
the old couple, "Okay, I can buy you one more portion; you
don't have to share like that." So the old man explained, "No,
no, no, we have been married for forty years and we always
share everything. Whatever we have, we share half and half.
Don't worry, but thank you, anyhow." But then after a while,
he saw that the woman wasn't eating eat, and only
the man ate, and he asked, "Why aren't you eating?" And the
wife said, "Today it's his turn to use the teeth."
Take Care of Whose Future?
(Originally in English)
A patient said to his doctor, "Doc., I'm worried about my
future,"So the doctor said, "I'll give you a year's
treatment; it'll cost about $500 dollars a month. Is that
okay?" So the patient said,"But that onlytakes care of your
future, not mine."
照顾谁的未来?
病人对医生说:‘医生,我对未来感到很忧心。’医生说:
‘我们会给你一年的治疗,一个月大概五百块美金,这样
可以吗?’病人说:‘但这样只照顾到你的未来,
不是我的!
Who’s Watching Out for Whom?
A man came home from playing golf, and his
wife asked, “How was your golf game?” He
said, “I was hitting pretty well, but my
eyesight has gotten so bad that I couldn’t see
where the ball went!” So the wife said,
“You’re 75 years old, Jack! What do you
expect? Why don’t you take my brother along?”
Jack said, “But he’s 85! And he doesn’t even
play golf anymore!” And the wife said, “But he
has perfect eyesight! At least he could watch
your ball for you.”
So, the next day Jack took the brother-in-law
with him to play golf. And while the brother
looked on, Jack swung. But the ball
disappeared somewhere. So Jack asked his
brother-in-law, “Did you see it?” And the
brother answered, “Yes! I saw it, alright!”
So Jack said, “Yes? Where is it?” And the
brother answered, “Well, I... I forgot!”
