: A doctor and a lawyer loved the same girl. The lawyer went away for a week and gave the girl seven apples before he left. Why
A: Because an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
好聪明的回答！"an apple a day keeps the doctor away"是一句谚语，意思是：“一天一苹果，医生不上门”。这样一来，律师不就可以战胜情敌----医生了吗。
Q: What's the best thing to put into pies
A: Your teeth.
问：把什么放进馅饼最好？答：你的牙齿。言外之意就是吃掉它。put into pies表示“把……放进，放进馅饼中往”；而" put your teeth into pies"当然就是吃馅饼而不是把牙齿放进馅饼的意思啦。
Q：What's the difference between a hill and a pill
A：A hill is hard to get up and a pill is hard to get down.
又是一句言简意赅的回答。在这里"get up" 相当于" climb(登山)"; " get down" 相当于" swallow (吞下)"。所以两者的区别也就显而易见了：hill（山）是往上攀登难；pill（药片）则是往下咽时困难。
Q：Who may marry many a wife and stay single all of his life
A：A priest.
One day a really skinny man was walking along when he met a really fat man. The fat man said, "Looks like you've been in a famine." The skinny man answered at once, "Looks like you caused it."）
