Who tops them all? 谁最臭?
A grocer, a banker and a politician got lost in the forest. Eventually they came to a farmer's home and asked if he coul put them up overnight.
"Sure," the farmer said,"But I've got room for only two of you in the house. The other will have to sleep in the barn with the animals, and the smell is very bad out there."
"I'll sleep in the barn," the banker volunteered.
Half an hour later a knock was heard on the farmer's house door, and there stood the banker,gasping,"I can't take the smell."
"All right," said the grocer,"I'll sleep in the barn." And off he went.
In a while there was another knock on the door."I've put up with some rank odors from spoiled food," the grocer complained,"but that barn tops them all."
"You two sissies,"said the politician. "I'll sleep in the barn."
Thirty minutes later came another knock. When they opened the door, there stood all the animals from the barn.
一个杂货商,一个银行家和一个政客在森林里迷了路。最后,他们来到了一家农舍,询问主人他们是否能在此过夜。
“没问题,”农夫说,“可我的房子只住得下两个人,另外一个人得到牲口棚跟牲口睡在一起,那里的气味很难闻。”
“我去牲口棚睡。”银行家自告奋勇。
半个小时后,他们听到有人敲门,银行家站在门口,直喘粗气“那气味我真受不了。”
“好吧,”杂货商说,“我去牲口棚睡。”他转身走了。
不久,又响起了敲门声。“我忍受过变质食物的恶臭,”杂货商抱怨道,“可是,牲口棚的气味比什么都难闻。”
“你们两个没用的东西,”政客说,“我去那儿睡。”
半个小时后,又响起了敲门声。他们打开门,看到牲口棚的全部牲口都站在门口。
