Q: What's the difference between a monkey and a flea? A: A monkey can have fleas, but a flea can't have monkeys. 猴子会和跳蚤有什么不同呢？你可能会直接的想到它们俩是一大一小。但除此之外呢，那就是猴子身上可以长跳蚤，而跳蚤身上却不能有猴子。这个答案很有意思吧？ Q: How can you most irritate a farmer? A: By treading on his corn? 如果你踩了农夫的玉米或是谷物，他肯定会生气的；而如果你踩了农夫脚底的鸡眼，闭山他会更生气。Corn既可以表示“玉米/谷物”，也有“鸡眼”的意思。 Q: Which is the strongest creature in the world? A: The snail. It carries its house on its back. 因为snail（蜗牛）的后背上总是背着一所房子，所以说蜗牛是世界上最强壮的生物是不足为奇的。你说呢？ Q: What do people do in a clock factory?

This story is told of a browbeating counsel，who habitually endeavored to terrorize his opponent‘s witnesses． One witness rather tended to preface his replies with lengthy explanations． “I want‘yes’or‘no，’”thundered counsel．“There is no need for you to argue the point！” “But there are some questions which cannot be answered by‘yes’or‘no，’”mildly responded the witness． “There are not！” snapped the lawyer． “Oh，” said the witness，“answer this then：“Have you ceased beating your wife？” 这个故事讲的是一个咄咄逼人的辩护律师，他惯于尽量去恐吓对方的证人。 有一个证人有点倾向于在回答问题之前做冗长的解释。 “我要你回答‘是’或者‘不是’，”辩护律师怒喝道： “你没有必要就这个问题进行争论。” “可是有些问题无法用‘是’或者‘不是’来回答。”这位证人温和地回敬他。 “不存在这样的问题！”律师厉声打断他。 “噢，”证人说：“那么请你回答这个问题：“你停止打你老婆了吗？” Two Birds Teacher: Here are two birds, one is a swallow, the other is sparrow.
