A bald man took a seat in a beauty shop.
“What can I do for you？” asked the stylist.
“I want a hair transplant，” the guy explained， “but I couldn't stand the pain. If you can make my hair look like yours without causing me any discomfort， I'll pay you $5，000.”
“No problem，” said the stylist and he quickly shaved his head.
一个秃头的男人坐在理发店里。
发型师问：“我可以帮你做点什么吗？”
那个人说：“我本来去做头发移植，但那实在太痛了。如果你能够让我的头发看起来像你的一样，而且没有任何痛苦，我将付给你5，000美元。”
“没问题，”发型师说，然后他很快剃了个光头。

The young boy protested vigorously when his mother asked him to take his little sister along fishing. “The last time she came，” he objected， “I didn't catch a single fish.”
“I'll talk to her，” his mother said， “and I promise this time she won't make any noise.”
“It wasn't the noise， Mom，” the boy replied. “She ate all my bait.”
小男孩的妈妈提出让他带着妹妹一起去钓鱼，他坚决反对。他说：“上次她跟着我，我连一条鱼都没能钓得到。”
“我会告诉她，”妈妈说，“我保证这次她不再发出响声了。”
男孩回答说：“妈妈，不是响声，是她把所有的诱饵都吃了。”

A mother is admonishing her son： “Now， John， don't be selfish. Let your little brother share the bicycle with you.”
“But Mother， I do. I ride it down the hill， and he rides it up the hill.”
一位母亲在劝告她的儿子，她说：“听着，约翰，别太自私了，让你的弟弟和你共用一辆自行车。”
“妈妈，我是让他骑的；下坡时我骑，上坡时他骑。”
