Joke One

Not To Be Taken Out

Mark Twain once went to borrow a certain book from a neighbor in Tarry town. "May I borrow a book from you?" he asked politely."Yes, you are more than welcome to it," the neighbor told him. "But I must ask you to read it here. You know I make it a rule never to let any book go out of my library." Some days later, the neighbor wished to borrow Twain's machine for cutting grass in the garden. "Why, certainly," Twain told him, "You are more than welcome to it. But I must ask you to use It here. You know that I make it a rule never to let it go out of my garden."

这是美国作家Mark Twain(马克 吐温)的轶事。幽默点在于他也用了邻居的办法，不过有些东西如果离开了一定的地方就没有用处了。You are more than welcome to it.直译:非常欢迎你用它。它是回答别人借东西时"May I borrow/use...?"的用语 ，就是“非常乐意。” Xmake it a rule to do/not to do sth.让做什么或不做什么成为一个制度/习惯。如: I make it a rule to read two English passages a day.我有个习惯每天要读两篇英语短文。He made it a rule never to be late for school.他有个习惯上学从不迟到。

Joke Two

Tom: What's the difference between a woman and an umbrella?

James: You can shut up an umbrella."

这个joke的笑点是shut up这个词，shut up闭嘴;关闭。大家都知道，女人爱说话，一旦说开，就不好shut up。
