:
The preacher was vexed because a certain member of his congregation always fell asleep during the sermon.
As the man was snoring in the front row one Sunday, the preacher determined he would teach him not to sleep during the sermon. So, in a whisper, he asked the congreg
ation. "All who want to go to heaven,please rise." Everyone got up except the snorer. After whispering "Be seated", the minister shouted at the top of his voiced, "All those who want to be with the devil, please rise."
Awaking with a start, the sleepy-head jumped to his feet and saw the preacher standing tall and angry in the pulpit, "Well, sir," he said, "I don't know what we're voting on, but it looks like you and me are the only ones for it."
瞌睡者
牧師非常生氣,因為總有一個人在他說教時打瞌睡。一個星期天,正當坐在前排的那個人又在瞌睡時,牧師決定要好好教育他一下,讓他不要再在佈道時睡覺。於是他低聲對信徒們說:“想去天堂的人,都請站起來吧。”所有的人都站了起來——當然,除了那個打瞌睡的人。在低聲說過請坐後,牧師高聲喊道:“想去下地獄的人請站起來!”打瞌睡的人被這突然的喊叫聲驚醒了,他站了起來。看到牧師高站在教壇上,正生氣的看著他。這個人說道:“噢,先生,我不知道我們在選什麼,但看上去只有你和我是候選人。”

Logic Reasoning
A fourth-grade teacher was giving her pupils a lesson on logic.
"Here is the situation," she said. "a man is standing up in a boat in the middle of a river, fishing. He loses his balance, falls in, and begins splashing and yellin
g for help. His wife hears the commotion, knows that he can't swim, and runs down to the bank. Why do you think she ran to the bank?"
A girl raised her hand and asked, "to draw out all of his savings?"
邏輯推理
小學四年級的教師正在給學生們上一堂邏輯課。她舉了這麼一個例子:“有這樣一種情況,一個男人在河中心的船上釣魚,突然失去重心掉進了水裡。於是他開始掙扎並喊救命。他的妻子聽到了他的喊聲,知道他並不會游泳,所以她就急忙跑向河岸。誰能告訴我這是為什麼?” 一個女生舉手答道,“是不是去取他的存款?”
[注]bank在英語中除了我們平時很熟悉的“銀行”之外,還有“河岸”的意思。
