A shoplifter was caught red-handed trying to steal a watch from a jewelry store. “Listen，” said the shoplifter， “I know you dont want any trouble either. What do you say I just buy the watch， and we forget about this？”

一個小偷在一家珠寶店企圖偷走一只手表的時候被當場擒獲。“聽著，”小偷說，“我知道你們也不想惹麻煩。我把這只表買下，然后我們就當什么也沒發生，你看怎樣？”

The manager agreed and wrote up the sales slip. The shoplifter looked at the slip and said， “This is a little more than I intended to spend. Can you show me something less expensive？”

經理表示同意，然后列了一張售貨單。小偷看著單子說道：“這比我最初的預算稍稍高了一點。你們還有沒有便宜一點的東西？”

Two friends were talking about work， when one asked， “Say， why did the foreman fire you？”

兩個朋友正在談工作，其中一個問：“為什么你被領班開除了？”

Replied the second， “Well， you know how a foreman is always standing around and watch others work. My foreman got jealous. People started thinking I was the foreman.”

另一個答道：“你知道領班是經常站在旁邊看別人干活的。我的領班嫉妒了，因為別人開始以為我是領班。”
