14 Notes
A friend was going into hospital for an operation so she spent the morning writing short notes which she left round the house for her husband to find.One note on the kitchen door said,"Eat three times a day."Another note on the bedside table wished him pleasant dreams.A third note on the side of the bath read,"Please clean me after use."Every room had a message of some sort but the funniest of all was pinned to his best suit in the wardrobe.It said,"Just where do you think you’re going tonight to need this?"
便条
一个朋友打算去医院做手术,于是她花了一早上的时间写了些便条,并把它们放在了家里的各个地方,以便她的丈夫可以找到。在厨房的门上有一张便条写道:“一天吃三顿饭。”
床头桌子旁的便条是希望他做好梦。
浴缸旁的便条写着:“用完后将我洗干净。”每个房间都有各种提示,而最有意思的是,衣橱里,她丈夫最好的那身衣服上贴着的便条写道:“今晚你需要穿它去什么地方?”
15 Who’s in Heaven
An olderly gentleman had passed away.His grief‐stricken widow missed him so much that she could not sleep a wink for days.
On one sleepless night,she heard a voice and immediately inquired,"Is that you,dear?"
"Yes,it’s me."
"How are you doing?"
"I’m fine."
The concerned wife inquired further,"Are you happy now?"
"Yes,I’m happy now."
"Are you happier now than when you were with me?"
"Yes,much happier."
Assuming that her husband was enjoying the heavenly bliss,with curiosity in her voice,the lady asked,"Tell me dear,what’s heaven like?"
"Who’s in heaven?"

妻子又关切地问道:“你现在幸福吗?”
“嗯,挺幸福的。”
“比我们在一起时还幸福吗?”

16 Flatterer
Some people grow old gracefully,while others fight and scratch the way.
Mabel,a friend of mine,refusing to give in to the looks of growing old,goes out and buys a new line of expensive guaranteed to make her look years younger.
After a lengthy sitting before the mirror applying the"miracle"products,she asks her husband,"Darling,honestly,if you didn’t know me,what age would you say I am?"
Looking over her carefully,he replied,"Judging from your skin,twenty;your hair,eighteen;and your body,twenty five."
"Oh,you flatterer!"She gushed.Just as she was about to tell him his reward,he stops her saying.
"Wow,hold on there sweety!"he interrupted,"I haven’t added them up yet!"
马屁精
有些人优雅地变老,还有一些人为变老而挣扎、抓狂。
梅布尔是我的朋友,她拒绝变老的容颜,就出门买了一套新出的化妆品,可不便宜,但能让她看起来年轻很多岁。
梅布尔在镜子前涂抹这个“神奇”化妆品涂了很久,她问老公:“亲爱的,老实说,如果你不认识我,你觉得我有多大啊?”
梅布尔的老公仔细看了看,回答:“看皮肤是二十,看头发是十八,看身材是二十五。”

“哇,亲爱的,等会!”他说,“我还没有加起来呢!”

19 Give up Smoking
Lucy looked at her husband scornfully and said,"Didn’t your doctor tell you to give up smoking?"
"He did,"answered Dick who seemed to be ashamed of himself,"and..."
"And yet you insist on smoking like a chimney,"continued Lucy,"you smoke at least 40 cigarettes a day!"
"Er...well,"answered Dick who seemed under his wife’s thumb,"I suppose I’d better cut it down for a time.I don’t think I could actually do without a cigarette all day long."
"And where is your strong willpower?"asked Lucy,"You should break the habit at once!"
Dick had always been as meek as a mouse but this time he felt he could not give way.
"You could think as you like,darling,but I just can’t do it."
"What?Can’t do it?"exclaimed Lucy,"Look at your friend Bill!He’s given up smoking successfully over ten times!"
戒烟
露茜轻蔑地看着丈夫说:“医生不是让你戒烟吗?”
“是的,”迪克难为情地说,“可是……”
“可你还是像烟囱似的抽个不停。”露茜继续说道,“你一天至少抽四十支烟!”
“呃……噢,”好像有“妻管严”的迪克回答说,“我想我最好一次减少一点。我想整天不抽我可受不了。”
“你的坚强毅力到哪里去了?”露茜问,“你应该马上改掉这个习惯!”
迪克总是言听计从,但这次他觉得不能让步。
“亲爱的,你爱怎么想就怎么想,可我真的做不到。”
“什么?做不到?”露茜大声喊道,“瞧瞧你的朋友比尔,他已经成功地戒了十多次了!”
