:好藉口
There was a middle-aged man who bought a Mercedes convertible 2000.
有個中年男子買了一輛賓士2000敞篷車。
He took off down the road, flooring it up to 80 mph and enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left on his head.
他開車上路,加速到時速80英里,享受著風兒吹過頭上那頭超短髮的快感。
"This is great," he thought and floored it some more.
“好舒服。”他邊想邊繼續加速。
He looked in his rearview mirror and sees a State Patrol behind him.
這時,他從後照鏡看到後面有個公路警察。
"I can get away from him with no problem," thought the man and flew down the road at over 100 mph.
“要把他甩掉還不容易。這個人邊想邊加速”到100多英里急馳而去。
Then he thought, "What am I doing? I'm too old for this kind of thing," and pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the police officer.
接著他又想說:“我到底在幹嗎?這把年紀實在不適合做這種事。”於是把車停到路邊等警察來。
The officer pulled in behind the Mercedes and walked up to the man.
警察把車停在這輛賓士後面,走到這個人旁邊。
"Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes and today is Friday the 13th." "If you can give me a reason why you were speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go."
“先生,我再過30 分鐘就下班了,今天又是13號星期五。如果你可以給我一個我從沒聽過的超速理由,我就不為難你。”
The man looked back at the State Patrol and remarked, "Last week my wife ran off with a State Patrol officer, and I thought you were bringing her back!"
這個人看著公路警察說:“上禮拜我老婆和一名公路警察私奔了,我以為你要把她帶回來還我呢!”
The State Patrol said, "Have a nice day!"
公路警察說:“祝你今天愉快!”

"I stand there for 20 minutes, and it dribbles andhurts. I have to go over and over again."
“我現在都要站個二十分鐘一滴一滴地小便,而且還會痛,得一直跑廁所才行。”
The 85-year-old remarked, "The best thing that could happen to me is if I could have one goodbowel movement."
八十五歲的老頭說:“對我來說最棒的事,就是可以好好大個便。”

“各種可以弄到的瀉藥我都試過了,還是沒什麼用。”
Then the 90-year-old remarked, "That's not my problem. Every morning at 6 a.m. sharp, I havea good long pee."
九十歲的老頭說:“我都沒有這些問題。每天早上六點整,我都會舒服而盡情地小便。”
"At 6:30 a.m. sharp, I have a great bowel movement. The best thing that could happen to mewould be if I could wake up before 7 a.m."
“六點半一到,就會舒服地大便。對我來說最棒的事,就是我能不能在早上七點前醒來。”

有個人走進一家寵物店,跟老闆說要買一隻萬能寵物。店老闆建議他買只忠心的狗。
The man replies, "Come on, a dog?"
那個人回答:“得了吧,狗行嗎?”
The owner says, "How about a cat?"
老闆說:“那貓怎麼樣?”
The man replies, "No way! A cat certainly can't do everything. I want a pet that can doeverything!"
那個人回答:“不行啦!貓當然不會是萬能的。我要的是萬能寵物!”
The shop owner thinks for a minute, then says, "I've got it! a centipede!"
店老闆想了一會兒說道:“有了!就是蜈蚣!”
The man says, "A centipede? I can't imagine a centipede doing everything, but okay... I'll try acentipede."
那個人說:“蜈蚣?真難想象蜈蚣會是萬能的,不過也好...我就買一條蜈蚣試試看。”
He gets the centipede home and says to the centipede, "Clean the kitchen."
他把蜈蚣帶回家後跟蜈蚣說:“去打掃廚房。”
Thirty minutes later, he walks into the kitchen and... It's immaculate! All the dishes andsilverware have been washed, dried, and put away; the counter-tops cleaned; the appliancessparkling; the floor waxed.
過了三十分鐘,他走進廚房一看...居然全部都乾乾淨淨的!所有的盤子和銀製餐具都洗好、烘乾、各歸各位;廚具檯面也清潔溜溜;每種用具都閃閃發亮;連地板都打了蠟。
He is absolutely amazed.

He says to the centipede, "go clean the living room."
他跟蜈蚣說:“去打掃客廳。”

過了二十分鐘,他走進客廳一看,地毯已用吸塵器吸過;加劇也擦得一塵不染;沙發上的枕頭也已拍鬆;植物也澆了水。那個人心想:“我從來沒看過這麼神奇的事,這真的是一隻萬能寵物!”
Next he says to the centipede, "Run down to the corner and get me a newspaper."
接著他跟蜈蚣說:“去街角幫我買份報紙。”
The centipede walks out the door. 10 minutes later... no centipede. 20 minutes later... nocentipede. 30 minutes later... no centipede.
蜈蚣於是走出大門。10分鐘過去了...蜈蚣還沒回來;20分鐘過去了...蜈蚣還沒回來;30分鐘過去了...蜈蚣還是沒有回來。
By this point the man is wondering what's going on. So he goes to the front door, opens it...and there's the centipede sitting right outside.
那個人開始納悶到底發生了什麼事,於是走到大門開啟一看...蜈蚣居然就坐在外面。
The man says, "hey!! I sent you down to the corner store 45 minutes ago to get me anewspaper. What's the matter?!"
那個人說:“我不是45分鐘前就叫你去街角的商店幫我買份報紙嗎?到底是怎麼回事?”
The centipede says, "I'm goin'! I'm goin'! I'm just putting on my shoes!"
蜈蚣說:“這就去!這就去!我的鞋子快穿好了!”
