　　三個外科醫生

　　三個有名的外科醫生正在吹噓他們的技術。一個人斷了一只手，他來找我，一個說，如今那個人是個音樂會的小提琴手。

　　這算不了什么，另一個說。了，他來找我，我將它們接了回去。如今，那人是馬拉松選手。

　　我比你們兩個都強，第三個說，一天，我碰到一起可怕的車禍。除了一個馬屁股，和一幅眼睛，什么都沒有留下。如今，那人坐在美國參議院里。

　　Three Surgeons

　　Three famous surgeons were bragging about their skills. A man came to me who had his hand cut off, said one. Today that man is a concert violinist.

　　That's nothing, said another. A guy came to me who had his legs cut off. I stitched them back on, and today that man is a marathon runner.

　　I can top both of you, said the third. One day I came on the scene of a terrible accident. There was nothing left but a horse's posterior - and a pair of glasses. Today that man is seated in United States Senate.
