*MALE LOGIC*

This a conversation between a man and his wife. Please note that she asks five or six questions which he answered quite simply:

*Woman*: Do you drink beer?

*Man*: Yes

*Woman*: How many beers a day?

*Man*: Usually about three

*Woman*: How much do you pay per beer?

*Man*: $5.00 which includes a tip (this is where it gets scary!)

*Woman*: And how long have you been drinking?

*Man*: About 20 years, I suppose

*Woman*: So a beer costs $5 and you have three beers a day which puts your spending each month at $450. In one year, it would be approximately $5400 correct?

*Man*: Correct

*Woman*: If in 1 year you spend $5400, not accounting for inflation, the past 20 years puts your spending at $108,000 correct?

*Man*: Correct

*Woman*: Do you know that if you didn't drink so much beer, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past 20 years, you could have now bought an airplane?

*Man*: Do you drink beer?

*Woman*: No.

*Man*: Where is your airplane?

Lo humor inglese: altalenante tra le grasse risate e l'intraducibilità in italiano.
Regola che purtroppo si ritrova in altri ambiti. Ad esempio, provate a tradurre una qualsiasi bella canzone (es. Pink Floyd) in italiano... I risultati a me suonano spesso deludenti!

Between Hausband and Wife, just before falling asleep:
----
W: How much do you love me?
H: Honey, I love you - sooo much - I can't even tell
W: Just tell me ...
H: Well then, I'm like a cell phone and you ... you're my SIM card, I can't exist I'm nothing without you, darling.
W: Ohh that's - sooo romantic -
Hausband (talking to himself): Phew! She doesn't know this is a China phone and it has FOUR SIMs. Thanks, God!

The Nun and the Cabbie

In a taxy along the streets of London, between a nun and the driver:


C: “Sister, may I ask you a favour?
It’s always been my dream to kiss a nun”

N: “You’re Catholic son, aren’t you? “

C: “Yes indeed, I’m a very devout Catholic! “

… be that as it may, the nun fulfils the cabbie fantasy …

C: “Thank you Sister, that’s very considerate, but … I have to confess I’m married, and I’m Muslim …”

N: “Oh well, me, I’m going to a costume party and … my name is Giovanni”
