At the height of a political corruption trial, the prosecuting attorney attacked a witness. “Isn't it true,” hebellowed, “that you accepted five thousand dollars to compromise this case?”
The witness stared out the window, as though he hadn't heard the question.
“Isn't it true that you accepted five thousand dollars to compromise this case?” the lawyer repeated.
The witness still did not respond.
Finally, the judge leaned over and said, “Sir, please answer the question.”
“Oh,” the startled witness said, “I thought he was talking to you.”
Professor Tom was going to meet his students on the next day,
so he wrote some words on the blackboard which read as follows: Professor Tom will meet the class tomorrow.
A student, seeing his chance to display his sense of humor after reading the notice, walked up and erased the c in the word class. The Professor noticing the laughter, wheeled around, walked back, looked at the student, then at the notice with the c erased--calmly walked up and erased the l in lass, looked at the flabbergasted student and proceeded on his way.
班級、情人和蠢驢
湯姆教授打算第二天與他的學生見面，因此他在黑板上寫道：湯姆教授明天將和大家見面。
一位學生看到這條通知後，覺得展示自己幽默感的機會來了，就走上前，將class中的c擦掉，將意思變為湯姆教授明天將和情婦見面。教授聽到笑聲，轉過身走回來，看了看那位學生，又看看被改動過的通知，不動聲色地走上前，把lass中的l擦掉，將意思改為湯姆教授明天將和蠢驢見面。看了看那位目瞪口呆的學生，教授揚長而去。

“Ah, yes,” answered the little boy. “I know the proverb, but does the dog know the proverb, too?”
