　　警察与小偷

　　一次,一个新上任的警察在小镇上抓住了一个小偷,他决定把这小偷押送到城里警察局去.在路上,他们路过了一家面包店.“我们没带吃的,呆会儿肯定会饿的,让我去给咱们买点面包.你在这等等我啊.”小偷说道.

　　警察同意了,并在街上等了很长一段时间,但是,小偷一直没有从商店出来.警察开始担心了,他跑进商店,除了一扇开着的后门,他什么也没看见.

　　警察不得不很郁闷的独自回到了警察局.

　　幸运的是第二天,他在同一地方又抓住了那小偷.当他们路过同一条街,同一家商店时,“在这等着我,”警察说道,“上次,你从这家商店溜了,这次,我去买面包,你必须在这等我!”

　　钉子还是苍蝇?

　　一位视力正在衰退的老绅士住进了一家旅馆的客房.他双手各拿一瓶酒.在墙上有只苍蝇,他误以为是枚钉子.他把两只瓶子朝上一挂,瓶子掉下来摔碎了,酒洒了一地.一个女服务员发现发生的事情以后,对他深表同情,决定帮他个忙.

　　于是,第二天早上他到楼顶花园散步时,她把一枚钉子钉在了苍蝇停过的地方.

　　这里,老人回到了房里.倒洒的酒味让他想起了那件事.他抬头往墙上一看,苍蝇又停在了那儿!他轻手轻脚地走近,使尽全力拍了一掌.听到一声大叫,好心的女服务员冲进房来.让她大为吃惊的是,可怜的老头正坐在地板上,牙关紧咬,右手滴血不止.

　　“那您要什么颜色的呢?”售货员又问.

　　“什么颜色都成.”他回答.

　　“号码呢?”

　　“您就随便给我拿一付吧,”这位顾客有点不耐烦了,“反正我太太明天都会来换的.”

　　好客

　　由于客人在吃苹果馅饼时,家里没有奶酪了,于是女主人向大家表示歉意.这家的小男孩悄悄地离开了屋子.过了一会儿,他拿着一片奶酪回到房间,把奶酪放在客人的盘子里.客人微笑着把奶酪放进嘴里说：“孩子,你的眼睛就是比你妈妈的好.你在哪里找到的奶酪?”“在捕鼠夹上,先生.”那小男孩说.
