A mean man finally decided to have a party. Explaining to a friend how to find his apartment, he said, “Come up to the fifth floor and ring the doorbell with your elbow.

“Why use my elbow?”

“Well, gosh,” the mean man said, “Youre not coming empty-handed, are you?”

一个出了名的吝啬鬼终于决定要请一次客了。在向一个朋友解释怎么找到他的家时，他说：“你上到五楼，用你的胳膊肘按门铃。”

“为什么要用我的胳膊肘呢？”

吝啬鬼回答：“天哪，你总不会空着手来吧？”
