美國流行笑話：The Most Hideous Thing 最丑陋的東西

135　The Most Hideous Thing 最丑陋的東西

I installed a night light in a conch shell I found on the beach. My wife took an instant dislike to it, and at the next yard sale it was the first thing she put out. I felt vindicated when a woman kept coming back to check it out, then finally bought it. “That will look great in your home,” I said. “Oh, it's not for me.” she explained. “My bridge club is having a charity auction and we were asked to bring the most hideous thing we can find. What I've got here is a winner.”

我用我在海灘撿到的一個海螺殼做了一個夜間燈。我太太一看見就不喜歡。之后，她在門前出售舊貨時，這是她第一個拿出去賣的東西。當(dāng)一個婦女一次又一次回來看它，并最后把它買下來的時候，我覺得報了仇。我說：“它放在你家里會很好看的。”她解釋說：“哦，不是我要。我們橋牌俱樂部要舉行一次慈善拍賣。要求我們拿我們可以找得到的最丑陋的東西去。我在這里買到的東西一定能贏。”
