“Sixteen men and a sergeant,sir.”



“Right;but how do you know there's a sergeant there?”



“He's not doing any digging, sir.”

Reason of Punishment



One day a little girl came home from school, and said to her mother, "Mommy, today in school I was punished for something that I didn't do."   



The mother exclaimed, "But that's terrible! I'm going to have a talk with your teacher about this! By the way, what was it that you didn't do?"



The little girl replied, "My homework."

A teacher was always so involved in the text being studied that he never looked up . He would call on a student for translation and explanation, and-without realizing it-he often chose the same student day after day. Out of respect, the student wouldn't point this out to him.


  After being called on four days in a row, a student named Goldberg asked advice from his friends. The next day when the teacher said "Goldberg, translate and explain," Goldberg replied, "Goldberg is absent today ."



  "All right," said the teacher. "YOU translate and explain.



Notes:



  (1) be involved in 卷入;投入 (2) out of respect出于尊敬

John D.Rocke feller, the wellkn own millionaire,gave away millions, but he himself was very mean about small sums of money. One day he went to stay at a hotel in New York and asked for the cheapest room in it. He said,“I am staying here alone and only need a small room.”



The manager showed him into a room and said,“This is our smallest and cheapest room,” and added,“but why do you choose a poor room like this? When your son stays here, he always has our most expensive room ;yours is our cheapest.”



“Oh! yes,”said Rockefeller,“but his father is a rich man;mine isn't.”

A teacher said to her class:



“Who was the first man?”



“George Washington,”a little boy shouted promptly.



“How do you make out that George Washington was the first man?”asked the teacher,smiling indulgently.



“Because,”said the little boy,“he was first in war,first in peace,and first in the hearts of his countrymen.”



But at this point a larger boy held up his hand.



“Well,” said the teacher to him,“who do you think was the first man?”



“I don't know what his name was,”said the larger boy,“but I know it wasn't George Washington,ma’am,because the history book says George Washington married a widow,so,of course,there must have been a man ahead of him.”

The ruler of an ancient kingdom wanted to disprove the statement that the men of his domain were ruled by their wives.He had all the males in his kingdom brought before him and warned that any man who did not tell the truth would be punished severely.



Then he asked all the men who obeyed their wives' directions and counsel to step to the left side of the hall. All the men did so but one little man who moved to the right.



“It's good to see,”said the king,“that we have one real man in the kingdom.Tell these chickenhearted dunces why you alone among them stand on the right side of the hall.”



“Your Majesty,”came the reply in a squealing voice,“it is because before I left home my wife told me to keep out of crowds.”

英语笑话

Rope or Ox?

The man in the prison asked a new comer why he was sent there. The new comer answered: "I am out of luck, I think. A few days ago I was walking in the street when I saw a piece of dirty rope. I thought nobody wanted it and so I picked it up and took it home."

"But it is not against the law to pick up a piece of rope and take home!"



"I told you I had bad luck, didn't I?" the man sighed, "The trouble is that I didn't notice there was an ox at the other end of that rope."
