笑话原文】



Hearing Aid



A woman rushed into the post office and wanted to see the supervisor.



I asked, “What’s the trouble?”



“I went out this morning,” she began, “and when I came home I found a card saying the mailman tried to deliver a package but no one was home. My husband was in all morning. He never heard a thing!”



After apologizing, I got her the parcel. “Oh, good,” she gushed 3. “we’ve been waiting for this for ages.”



“What is it?” I asked.



“My husband’s new hearing aid.”

我向她道了歉,又给她拿来了包裹。她说:“噢,太好了,我们已经等了好久了。”
