朱莉叶在做睡前祷告。“上帝，求求你，”她说，“让那不勒斯成为意大利的首都吧。”

妈妈打断她的话说：“朱莉叶，为什么求上帝让那不勒斯成为意大利的首都呢？”

朱莉叶回答道：“因为我在地理考卷上是这样写的。”

Bedtime Prayers

Julie was saying her bedtime prayers. ＂Please God,＂ she said, ＂make Naples the capital of Italy. Make Naples the capital of Italy.＂

Her mother interrupted and said. ＂Julie, why do you want God to make Naples the capital of Italy?＂

And Julie replyed, ＂Because that's what I put in my geography exam!＂

班和笨驴

格拉斯哥的劳里教授在门上贴了这样一个通知：“劳里教授今天不见他的班级。”

一个学生读了通知后，擦掉了字母“c”(lass：姑娘)。

后来劳里教授来了，也想开开玩笑，他擦掉了字母“l”(ass：笨驴)。

Class and Ass

Professor Laurie of Glasgow put his notice on his door: ＂Professor Laurie will not meet his classes today.＂

A student, after reading the notice, rubbed out the ＂c＂.

Later Professor Laurie came along, and entering into the spirit of the joke, rubbed out the ＂l＂.
