An imaginative wife 想象能力丰富的妻子

A woman had a desire to have her portrait painted, and her husband engaged the best artist he could find. During one of the sittings , the wife made a rather unusual request. She asked the artist to paint in diamond necklace, ear-rings and tiara, even though she wore no jewelry. The artist did as she told him but was puzzled. "Why did we add the gems?" he asked, as they looked at the finished product.

The wife said, "It is in case should die before my husband, I just know he'd remarry right away. Let his new wife look for the jewels."

妻子说：“万一我比我丈夫早死，我知道他马上就会再婚。让他那新婚妻子去找珠宝吧!”

A young woman went to her doctor complaining of pain.

"Where are you hurting?" asked the doctor.

"You have to help me, I hurt all over", said the woman.

"What do you mean, all over?" asked the doctor, "be a little more specific."

The woman touched her right knee with her index finger and yelled, "Own, that hurts." Then she touched her left cheek and again yelled, "Ouch! That hurts, too." Then she touched her right earlobe, "Own, even THAT hurts", she cried.

The doctor checked her thoughtfully for a moment and told her his diagnosis, "You have a broken finger."
