Already Working on a Murder Case
The local sheriff was looking for a deputy, so Gomer, who was not exactly the sharpest nail in the bucket, went in to try out for the job. "Okay," the sheriff drawled, "Gomer, what is 1 and 1?" "11" he replied. The sheriff thought to himself, "That's not what I meant, but he's right. What two days of the week start with the letter 'T'?" "Today and tomorrow." The sheriff was again surprised that Gomer supplied a correct answer that he had never thought of himself. "Now Gomer, listen carefully: Who killed Abraham Lincoln?" Gomer looked a little surprised himself, then thought really hard for a minute and finally admitted, "I don't know." "Well, why don't you go home and work on that one for a while?" So, Gomer wandered over to the barbershop where his pals were waiting to hear the results of the interview. Gomer was exultant. "It went great! First day on the job and I'm already working on a murder case!"
我已经开始为一宗谋杀案工作了。(笑话)
当地的警长一直在招聘副手。高莫并不是很灵活出众的人,但他还是想去应征这个职务。
“好吧。先考考你的数学。”警长慢吞吞地说,“高莫,1加1是多少啊?”“11”他回答说。
警长想这个人真有意思,说:“这不是我的答案,不过,你也算是对的。”
“再考你一个语文的问题,一星期中哪两天的开始字母是'T'?”“今天和明天。”警长对他的答案再次感到惊讶,高莫提供了又一个不同的正确答案,这是警长从来没有这样想到过的答案。
“现在最后一个问题,高莫,听仔细了,是谁杀害了亚伯拉罕·林肯?”高莫脸上露出了一点为难,他苦苦地想了一会儿,终于承认,“我不知道。”“好了,为什么你还不回家去好好想想这个问题呢?”
因此,高莫离开警察局,得意洋洋地走进理发店,等待他的伙伴们围了上来问他:“面试的结果怎么样啦?”高莫眉飞色舞说道:“太棒了!在工作的第一天,我就开始为一宗谋杀案工作了!”
