If life were like a computer

假如生活是一台电脑

You are too late

on a bus a man discovered a pickpocket's hand thrust into his pocket.

“sorry,”he said to the pickpocket,“you are too late. My wife did it before you.”

It was the Christmas season and the judge was in a merry mood as he asked the prisoner,“What is your offense?”

“I did my Christmas shopping early this year,”cried the prisoner.

“There's nothing wrong with that,”said the Judge.“How early were you doing this shopping?”

“Before the store opened,”answered the prisoner.

圣诞佳节到来,法官心情愉悦地问犯人:“你做了什么坏事啊?”

“我今年圣诞节购物早了些。”犯人回答。

“这么做没错啊”,法官说:“到底多早之前啊?”

“商店开门之前。”犯人答道。

Problem with gas

A little old lady goes to the doctor and says,“Doctor, I have this problem with gas, but it doesn't really bother me too much. They never smell and are always silent.As a matter of fact, I've farted at least 20 times since I've been here in your office.You didn't know I was farting because they don't smell and are silent.”The doctor says,“I see.Here's a prescription.Take these pills 3 times a day for seven days and come back to see me next week.”The next week the lady goes back.“Doctor,”she says,“I don't know what the hell you gave me, but now my farts……although still silent……stink terribly.”The doctor says,“Good!Now that we've cleared up your sinuses, let's start working on your hearing.”

放屁的问题

有位小老太太去看医生,她对医生说:“医生,我有爱放屁的毛病。其实也不是大问题,因为我放屁不臭而且没声音。事实上,自从我进了你办公室后,已经放了至少20个屁了,但是你并不知道对吧,因为我的屁不臭,而且还没声音。”医生说:“好的,我明白了。吃这个药片,一天三次连续吃七天,下星期你再来。”一个星期后,老太太来了,“医生,你到底给的我什么药,现在我放屁还是没声音,但是怎么这么臭!”医生说:“太好了!既然你的嗅觉正常了,我们开始治听觉吧。”
