아메리칸 조크 - 대부분은 호텔에서 수건만 가져와

"Most people just take the towels." 우리는 애틀랜타에 있..

"Well then, you better make it 13." 한 남자가 얌전한 여자가 운영하는 약국으로 들어갔다. 그가 물었다, "콘돔 한 다스를 주시겠어요, 아가씨?" "절 아가씨라고 부르지 마세요, 선생님," "음, 그럼, 13개로 해 주세요." [참고] * "Don't Miss me." ☞ 보통은 "절 빼지 마세요."란 뜻으로 사용되지만, 위의 글에서는 고객이 주인을 miss(아가씨)라고 불렀기 때문에 주인이 "난 miss가 아닙니다"라는 뜻으로 한 말인데 고객은 "절 ..

아메리칸 조크 - 저 친구에겐 술을 줘서는 안돼

Two guys staggered into the bar, dragging their extremely pissed-off buddy with them. When they reached the bar, they let him go and he collapsed in a drunken heap on the floor.

How did the accident happen?" asked the doctor. "Well," explained the patient, "I was making love to my girlfriend on the living room rug when, all of a sudden, the chandelier came crashing down on us."
