e he told an amusing story which went on for rather a long time. At last he stopped to allow the interpreter to translate it into Japanese, and was very surprised when the man did this in a few seconds, after which all the students laughed loudly.
After the lecture, the writer thanked the interpreter for his good work and then said to him, “Now please tell me how you translated that long story of mine into such a short Japanese one.”
“I didn’t tell the story at all.” the interpreter answered with a smile“ I just said, ‘The honorable lecturer has just told a funny story. You will all laugh, please.’”
There once was a dog show to determine the world’s smartest dog. Three dogs were in the finals. One dog belonged to a doctor. One dog belonged to an engineer. And, one dog belonged to a lawyer.
For the finals each dog was given a bag of bones to see what it could make. The doctor said, “Stethoscope, go!” The dog built a human skeleton.
The judges were ready to award the trophy right then. But, they decided to give the other dogs a try.
The ensineer said, “Slide-rule, go!” The dog built a suspension bridge.
The judges were beside themselves. Which dog would they pick?
The lawyer said.“Loop-hole, go!” The dog ate the bones, got a percentage of all the tolls from the bridge and screwed the Fother two dogs.
