Добрый день, уважаемые подписчики. Специально для тех,
кто недавно подписался на нашу рассылку сообщаю, что в четверг-пятницу
мы
делаем выпуск, посвящённый исключительно юмору (анекдоты, шутки и т.д.)
на
английском языке. Не спешите отписываться! По понедельникам выходит
настоящий
выпуск, посвящённый каким-нибудь проблемам, трудностям и интересностям
английского
языка. Так что даже если трудно понимать юмор (всё-таки надеюсь, что вы
разберётесь),
ждите понедельника. А в середине недели мы отдыхаем, наслаждаясь
английским
юмором или шуткам на английском языке. Сегодня вашему вниманию предлагаю
короткий
выпуск, посвящённый юмору о животных. Несомненно, эта тема богата и
обширна,
и мы к ней не раз ещё вернёмся.
Начать хочу с известного в Интернете рассказа про собаку
по имени Sex.
A Dog Named Sex
Everybody I know who has a dog usually calls him
"Rover" or "Spot". I call mine Sex. Now, Sex has
been
very embarrassing to me. When I went to the City Hall to renew the dog's
license,
I told the clerk that I would like a license for Sex. He said, "I
would
like to have one too!" Then I said, "But she is a dog!"
He
said he didn't care what she looked like. I said, "You don't
understand...
I have had Sex since I was nine years old." He replied, "You
must
have been quite a strong boy." When I decided to get married, I
told
the minister that I would like to have Sex at the wedding. He told me to
wait
until after the wedding was over. I said, "But Sex has played a big
part
in my life and my whole world revolves around Sex." He said he
didn't
want to hear about my personal life and would not marry us in his
church.
I told him everyone would enjoy having Sex at the wedding. The next day
we
were married at the Justice of the Peace. My family is barred from the
church
from then on. When my wife and I went on our honeymoon, I took the dog
with
me. When we checked into the motel, I told the clerk that I wanted a
room
for me and my wife and a special room for Sex. He said that every room
in
the motel is a place for sex. I said, "You don't understand... Sex
keeps
me awake at night." The clerk said, "Me too!" One day I
entered
Sex in a contest. But before the competition began, the dog ran away.
Another
contestant asked me why I was just looking around. I told him that I was
going
to have Sex in the contest. He said that I should have sold my own
tickets.
"You don't understand," I said, "I hoped to have Sex on
TV."
He called me a show off. When my wife and I separated, we went to court
to
fight for custody of the dog. I said, "Your Honor, I had Sex before
I
was married but Sex left me after I was married." The Judge said,
"Me
too!" Last night Sex ran off again. I spent hours looking all over
for
her. A cop came over and asked me what I was doing in the alley at 4
o'clock
in the morning. I said, "I'm looking for Sex." - My case comes
up
next Thursday. Well now I've been thrown in jail, been divorced and had
more
damn troubles with that dog than I ever foresaw. Why just the other day
when
I went for my first session with the psychiatrist, she asked me,
"What
seems to be the trouble?" I replied, "Sex has been my best
friend
all my life but now it has left me for ever. I couldn't live any longer
so
lonely." and the doctor said, "Look mister, you should
understand
that sex isn't a man's best friend so get yourself a dog."
