穹眩�200美圆的利润。”
圣彼得又问犹太承包商的估价，在经过了一番仔细的勘察后，犹太人说道：“需要3000美圆——1000美圆的材料，1000美圆的劳务费，1000美圆的利润。”
当圣彼得问意大利人的估价时，意大利人完全没有作任何调查就脱口而出：“2600美圆。”圣彼得问他是怎样得出这个数字的，意大利人回答说：“非常简单，1000美圆给你，1000美圆给我，还有600美圆找一个低价的竞标者来做这份工作。”
Contractors
Three construction contractors died and went to heaven—a Black； a Jew； and an Italian。 When they got there St。 Peter weled them warmly and asked if they could do him a favor before they entered heaven。 It seems that the Pearly gates were in need of some repair； and he wanted some estimates。

The Black contractor looked the job over carefully and estimated the job at 600。 When asked how he came up with that figure； he said； “200 materials； 200 labor； and200 profit。”
St。 Peter then asked the Jewish contractor for an estimate。 After careful inspection the Jew answered； “3000—1000 materials； 1000 labor； and1000 profit。”
When St。 Peter ask the Italian for an estimate； he answered immediately without looking over the job at all—2600。 Asked how he came up with that figure he answered； “Simple； 1000 for you。 1000 for me； and 600 to get the low bidder over there to do the work。”
省 钱
美国人亨利来到伦敦度假。
有一天，他感觉不舒服，便来到旅馆服务台向服务员咨询：“我想看病，你能帮我找一位好医生吗？”
服务员翻阅了一下本子，然后说：“肯尼思·格雷医生，61010。”
亨利说：“非常感谢，他看病收费贵吗？”
“喔，”服务员回答说，“初诊患者收费2英镑，复诊收费英镑。”
亨利琢磨着能省下50便士，于是，他去看病时对医生说：“我又来了，医生。”
医生一言不发地端详着他的面容，过了一会儿点点头说道：“哦，对。”医生给亨利做完检查后说：“病情得到了控制，继续吃上次我给你的药就可以了。”

Henry said； “Thank yon very much。 Is he expensive？’”
“Well；” the clerk answered；“he always charges his patients two pounds for their first visit to him； and one pound and 50 pennies for later visits。”
Henry decided to save 50 pennies； so when he went to see the doctor； he said； “I’ve e again； doctor。 ”
For a few seconds the doctor looked at his face carefully without saying anything。 Then he nodded and said；“Oh； yes。” He examined him and then said；“Everything’s going as it should do。 Just continue with the medicine I gave you last time。”

两个猎人
两个猎人租了一架小型飞机去加拿大的一个偏僻地区打猎。要下飞机的时候，飞行员特意嘱咐他们：“千万记住，只允许带一只驼鹿，因为飞机只能承受那么大的重量。”听飞行员说完，两个猎人就打猎去了。
一个星期过后，当飞机返回原地接他们时，飞行员却看到猎人的身边有两只驼鹿。飞行员生气地说道：“我提醒过你们，只能带一只驼鹿。你们必须放弃一只，因为飞机根本承受不了这样的重量。”“哦，帮帮忙，”两个猎人哀求道，“去年那个飞行员就带了两只驼鹿呢。你真是个胆小鬼。”
飞行员害怕被扣上胆小鬼的帽子，于是就勉强同意了。飞机刚刚越过一个湖，就开始逐渐下沉。飞行员使尽浑身解数也未能逃脱劫难，飞机最终坠落在湖边的一片树林里。过了一会儿，一个猎人站了起来，看着飞机的残骸说：“我们这是在哪里？”另—个猎人回答：“哦，我觉得比去年还远了100码呢。”

Not wanting to be accused of being a coward； the pilot allows the two to bring both moose on the craft。 The plane starts across the lake； straining to take off。 The pilot tries and tries to no avail and the plane crashes into the trees at the end of the lake。 A while later after ing to one of the hunters gets up and looks at all the scattered debris of the wreck and says；“Where are we？” To which the other hunter replies； “Oh； I’d say about a hundred yards farther than last year。”
邮政快递
我的丈夫希望获得一次面试的机会，便让我到邮局寄他的履历表。他提醒我要以最快的方式寄出去。
听到他的语气紧迫，我就抓起一把零钱，冲出了家门。到了邮局，我冲到拒台前，气喘吁吁地向职员说明我的信必须马上寄出。他随便称了一下信的重量，说要收10元零3分。我翻遍了所有口袋，连硬币都拿了出来。“可是我没有10元零3分，”我说。他又敲了几个键，然后说：“那好吧，7元4角，夫人。”
我又一次无奈地说：“对不起，我没有7元4角。”
“那么，”他叹了口气，“说说你到底有多少？”
我毕恭毕敬地回答道：“我一共有2元1角5分，先生。”
他听完，转过身去对同事喊道：“嗨，查理，把鸽子准备好。”
