BUYING A HAT
A lady went to a hat shop to buy a hat. As she was very fussy, it took her a long time to pick on one. Already at the end of his patience the salesman was afraid that she might change her mind again so he tried to flatter her: "An excellent choice, madam. You look at least ten years younger with this hat on!" To his dismay, the lady took off her hat at once and said: "I don't want a hat that makes me look ten years older as soon as I take it off. Show me some more hats!"
買帽子
一位婦女到一家帽子店買帽子。她很挑剔，用了很長時間才選好了一頂。已經忍耐到極限的售貨員害怕她再改變主意，便恭維她："你做了極好的.選擇，夫人。你戴上這頂帽子看上去起碼年輕十歲!"但令他沮喪的是，這位女士馬上摘下了她的帽子說："我不想要一頂摘下來便使我立刻顯得老十歲的帽子。多拿一些帽子給我看看!"
