笑话一：A Smart Housewife（精明的家庭主妇） A smart housewife was told that there was a kind of stove which would only consume half of the coal she was burning. She was very excited, and said: "That'll be terrific! Since one stove can save half of the coal, if I buy two, no coal will be needed!" 中文翻译： 一位精明的家庭主妇听人说有一种炉子用起来可以比她现在用的炉子省一半的煤。

她非常兴奋，说：“那太好了！既然一个炉子可以省一半的煤，那么如果我买两个炉子的话，不就可以把煤全都省下来了吗？” 笑话二：Logic Reasoning（逻辑推理） A fourth-grade teacher was giving her pupils a lesson on logic. "Here is the situation," she said. "A man is standing up in a boat in the middle of a river, fishing. He loses his balance, falls in, and begins splashing and yelling for help. His wife hears the commotion, knows that he can't swim, and runs down to the bank. Why do you think she ran to the bank?" A girl raised her hand and asked, "To draw out all of his savings?" 中文翻译： 一位四年级的教师正在给学生们上一堂逻辑课。

她举了这么一个例子：“有这样一种情况，一个男人在河中心的船上钓鱼，突然失去重心掉进了水里。

于是他开始挣扎并喊救命。

他的妻子听到了他的喊声，知道他并不会游泳，所以她就急忙跑向河岸。

你们能告诉我这是为什么吗？” 一个女生举手答道：“是不是去取他的存款？” 笑话三：The New Teacher （新老师） George comes from school on the first of September. "George, how did you like your new teacher?" asked his mother. "I didn't like her, Mother, because she said that three and three were six and then she said that two and four were six too..." 中文翻译： 9月1日， 乔治放学回到家里。

“乔治，你喜欢你的新老师吗？” 妈妈问。

“妈妈，我不喜欢她，因为她说3加3得6, 可后来又说2加4也得6……”
