Lesson 275

3) Mrs Miller’s telephone number

The phone number of Mrs Miller was three-four-six-three, and the number of the cinema in her city three-four-six-four, so people often made a mistake and called her instead of the cinema. One evening, the telephone rang again and Mrs Miller answered the phone. A tired man's voice asked, "When do you start your last movie?" "I'm sorry," said Mrs Miller, "but you dialled the wrong number, this is not the cinema." "Oh, it started twenty minutes ago," said the man. "That's too bad. Thank you! Goodbye." Mrs Miller was very surprised, so she told her husband. He laughed and said: "The man's wife wanted to go to the movies, but he felt tired, so he called the cinema. His wife could hear him, but could not hear you. Tonight they will stay at home, and the man is happy!"

Lesson 273

2) A man in Switzerland

A long time ago, man had some business in Switzerland, so that he took leave of his wife at the airport and got on the plane. After ten days his work in Switzerland was finished, and so he bought a ticket for the journey back home. Then he went to the post office to send a telegram to his wife. After having written it, he gave it to the woman at the counter. The telegram read: 'My love! I'll be back tonight.' He asked how much it cost. She told him, and he counted his Swiss money. He did not have enough and did not want to change more. "Take the words 'my love' out of my telegram," he said, "then I have enough money to pay for it!" "No," she said opening her purse, and took out some money. "For the words 'My Love,' I will pay. Wives need these words from their husbands."

One Friday a gentleman came to speak to the club about nourishment and said that there was not enough food for everyone in the world, more than half of the people in the world suffered from hunger, and if they had more food, they would get more babies, so they never stopped being hungry. Everywhere in the world, day and night and every minute, a woman gave birth to a baby. What should be done about it? He waited a few seconds. But before he could continue, one of the ladies said, "Well, why don’t we just find this woman and stop her?"
