It s Better to Drink Whiskey

A professor of chemistry wanted to teach his 9th grade class a lesson about the evils of liquor,so he produced an experiment that involved a glass of water,a glass of whiskey,and two worms.

“Now,class.Observe closely the worms,”said the professor putting a worm first into the water.The worm in the water writhed about,happy as a worm in water could be.

The second worm,he put into the whiskey.It writhed painfully,and quickly sank to the bottom,dead as a doornail.

“Now,what lesson can we derive from this experiment?”the professor asked.Scott,who naturally sits in back,raised his hand and wisely responded,“Drink whiskey and you won t get worms.”

还是喝威士忌好

为了让自己的九年级学生懂得烈酒的害处,一位化学教授向他们展示了一个试验。这个实验用一杯水、一杯威士忌和两条蠕虫。

“现在,请大家仔细观察。”教授说着,把第一只蠕虫先放进水中。蠕虫扭动着身子在水中游动,显现出蠕虫在水中所能有的一切欢快。

教授把第二只蠕虫放进威士忌中,蠕虫痛苦地扭动着身体。很快便沉到了杯底,死去了。

“现在,我们从这个实验中能得出什么结论呢?”教授问道。总是坐在教室后边的斯考特,举起手,巧妙地回答道:“喝威士忌就不会喝到蠕虫。”

I Never Work After Supper

A penny pinching farmer didn t want his hired hand to stop working.One morning,he told the farmhand,It s such a nuisance to come in from the field,wash up for lunch and take time to eat.Why don t we save time

and eat lunch now?

The hired man agreed.The farmer s wife brought in some cold meat and fried potatoes,and the two men ate again.

When they had finished,the cheap farmer said,“While we re still at the table,let s have supper too.”They were now served steak,boiled potatoes and mixed vegetables,and they ate once more.

“Now that the meals are out of the way,”the farmer announced,“we can go out and work all day without interruption.”

“Oh,no,”the farmhand answered.“I never work after supper.”

我晚饭后从不工作

一位农场主非常吝啬,不想让他雇佣的帮手停下来休息。一天早上,他对帮手说:“从地里回来,又要洗手吃饭,又花时间,真是太不方便了。我们何不省点时间,现在就吃午饭呢?”

雇员同意了。农场主的妻子端进来一些冷肉和油炸土豆。于是,两个人又开始吃起来。

吃完后,吝啬鬼说:“既然我们还在桌子边,让我们连晚饭也吃了吧。”这次上桌的有排骨、煮土豆和杂烩青菜。于是两个人又吃起来。

“现在三顿饭都吃过了”,农场主宣称道,“我们可以出去一整天不停地干活了。”

“哦,不,”那帮手回答说,“晚饭后我从不工作。”
