2.Reached Shore Fast 快速靠岸A guy I know wastowing his boat homefrom a fishing trip to LakeHuron when his car brokedown. He didn't have his cell phone with him, but he thought maybe he might be able toraise someone on his marine radio to call for roadside assistance. He climbed into his boat, clicked on the radio and said, "Mayday, mayday." A Coast Guard officer came on and said, "State your location." "I-75, two miles south of Standish." After a very long pause, the officer asked, "How fast were you going when you reached shore?"在休伦湖钓完鱼后，我的一个朋友开车拖着他的船回家。
路上车坏了。
他没带手机，不过，他想，也许他可以通过海事无线广播来请求公路援助。
于是，他爬到他的船里面，启动了无线装置，喊道，“求救，求救”。
一名海岸护卫队警官作出了回应，“报告你的位置”。
“I-75号公路，Standish 的南面两英里”。
沉默了好一会之后，警官问我的朋友，“你的船靠岸时开得有多快？”3.The Mean Man's Party吝啬鬼的聚会The notorious cheapskate finally decided tohave a party.

他在向一个朋友解释怎么找到他家时说：“你上到五楼，用你的胳膊肘按门铃。
门开了后，再用你的脚把门推开。
”“为什么我要用我的肘和脚呢？”“天哪！” 吝啬鬼回答，“你总不会空着手来吧？”4.Talking clock 会说话的钟——While proudly showing offhis new apartment to friends, acollege student led the way intothe den.

It's two o'clock in the morning!"一个学生带他朋友们参观他的新公寓，甚是得意。

“这钟怎么工作的”，他的朋友问。
“看着，别眨眼了”，那学生走上前一把操起铜锣和锤子，拼命地敲了一下，声音震耳欲聋。
