    One day Mel Martin stopped by the chambers 1 of a judge with whom he had lunch appointment. As his friend changed from robe jacket, Martin noticed a shiny black pistol bolstered 2 to the judge's shoulder.

    The judge was not a firearms enthusiast 3, so Martin asked him why he was carrying it. His friend said that because of recent threats he had borrowed the pistol from the repository of confiscated 4 weapons. Holding it up, the judge said, "I chose this one because it's so mean-looking, yet it hardly weighs a thing. I hope I don't need it, because I don't even know how to load it.""It's not hard," Martin said, examining it closely. "We can fill it at the water fountain on the way out."Notes:

    44.法官的手枪

一天,麦尔·马丁来到一个法官办公室。他跟法官约好了一起吃午餐。当法官换掉长袍时,马丁发现法官肩上绑着一支闪光发亮的手枪。

    法官并不是个武器狂热者,因此马丁问他为什么带上它。他的这位朋友回答说因为近来不断有恐吓发生,所以他从充公武器仓库那里借来一把手枪。法官把枪拿在手里,说:“我选了这把枪是因为它看起来很吓人,却一点也不重。我希望我并不需要它,因为我还不知道怎么装子弹呢。”

    “这并不难,”马丁说,一边仔细检查那支枪,“我们可以在出口的自来水管处装满它。”
