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.
В этот раз, как и в прошлый, предлагаю посмеяться над подборкой
шуток и анекдотов про молодёжь и детей, которые, несомненно, доставят
вам
большое удовольствие...
Are You Ready for Children?
Are you considering having children? To determine
whether you are truly prepared for the experience, we suggest you take
this
set of simple tests...
MESS TEST:
Smear peanut butter on the sofa and curtains.
Now rub your hands in the wet flower bed and rub on the walls. Cover the
stains
with crayons. Place a fish stick behind the couch and leave it there all
summer.
TOY TEST:
Obtain a 55-gallon box of Legos. (If Legos are
not available, you may substitute roofing tacks or broken bottles.) Have
a
friend spread them all over the house. Put on a blindfold.
Try
to walk to the bathroom or kitchen. Do not scream (this could wake a
child
at night).
GROCERY STORE TEST:
Borrow one or two small animals (goats are best)
and take them with you as you shop at the grocery store. Always
keep
them in sight and pay for anything they eat or damage.
DRESSING TEST:
Obtain one large, unhappy, live octopus. Stuff
into a small net bag making sure that all arms stay inside.
FEEDING TEST:
Obtain a large plastic milk jug. Fill halfway
with water. Suspend from the ceiling with a stout cord. Start the jug
swinging.
Try to insert spoonfuls of soggy cereal (such as Fruit Loops or
Cheerios)
into the mouth of the jug while pretending to be an airplane. Now dump
the
contents of the jug on the floor.
NIGHT TEST:
Prepare by obtaining a small cloth bag and fill
it with 8 to 12 pounds of sand. Soak it thoroughly in water. At
8:00
PM begin to waltz and hum with the bag until 9:00 PM. Lay down your bag
and
set your alarm for 10:00 PM. Get up, pick up your bag, and sing every
song
you have ever heard. Make up about a dozen more and sing these too until
4:00
AM. Set alarm for 5:00 AM. Get up and make breakfast. Keep this up for
five
years. Look cheerful.
PHYSICAL TEST (WOMEN)
Obtain a large beanbag chair and attach it to
the front of your clothes. Leave it there for 9 months. Now remove 10%
of
the beans.
PHYSICAL TEST (MEN):
Go to the nearest drug store. Set your wallet
on the counter. Ask the clerk to help himself. Now proceed to the
nearest
food store. Go to the head office and arrange for your paycheck to be
directly
deposited to the store. Purchase a newspaper. Go home and read it
quietly
for the last time.
FINAL ASSIGNMENT:
Find a couple who already have a small child.
Lecture them on how they can improve their discipline, patience,
tolerance,
toilet training, and child's table manners. Suggest many ways they can
improve.
Emphasize to them that they should never allow their children to run
riot.
Enjoy this experience. It will be the last time you will have all the
answers.
