Camera

“Yes,” said the woman,cheering up. “And it's lucky you have. I used another pants to patch the hole.”

An absent-minded husband
I was accompanying my husband on a business trip. He carried his portable computer with him,and the guard at the airport gate asked him to open the case. It was locked,and the man waited patiently as my embarrassed spouse struggled to remember the combination. At last he succeeded.
“Why are you so nervous?” I asked him.
“The numbers are the date of our anniversary.” my husband confessed.

我陪丈夫一起出差,他带着他的笔记本电脑。到了机场出口处时,有位检查员要他打开包。但是包锁上了,机场工作人员耐心地等着我那窘迫的丈夫设法回想起暗锁的密码。最后他终于想起来了。
“你为什么那么紧张呢?”我问他。
“密码是我们的结婚纪念日。”他承认道。
