英文小笑話:繩子還是公牛？
Rope or Ox?
The man in the prison asked a new comer why he was sent there. The new comer answered: I am out of luck, I think. A few days ago I was walking in the street when I saw a piece of dirty rope. I thought nobody wanted it and so I picked it up and took it home.
But it is not against the law to pick up a piece of rope and take home!
I told you I had bad luck, didn't I? the man sighed, The trouble is that I didn't notice there was an ox at the other end of that rope.繩子還是公牛？
在監獄裡，一個人問新來的犯人為什麼被關進來。新來的犯人回答說：我想我真是倒黴。幾天前我在街上走的時候，看到一根髒繩子，以為沒人要了，便撿起來帶了回家。
但是，撿一根繩子帶回家並不犯法啊！
我告訴過你我倒黴了吧？那個人嘆了口氣，麻煩的就是我沒有注意到繩子的那一頭還有一頭公牛。
