雙語笑話：向母親告別

Say Goodbye to Mother

A couple is dressed and ready to go out for the evening. They phone for a cab，turn on a night light，cover their pet parakeet and put the cat out in the back yard.

The taxi arrives，and they open the front door to leave. Suddenly the cat they put out scoots back into the house. They don’t want the cat shut in there because she always tries to eat the bird. The wife goes out to the taxi while the husband goes back in. The cat runs upstairs，with the man in hot pursuit.

The wife doesn’t want the driver to know the house will be empty. She explains to the taxi driver that her husband will be out soon.“He’s just going upstairs to say goodbye to my mother.”

A few minutes later the husband gets into the cab.“Sorry I took so long，”he says，as they drive away.“Stupid hag was hiding under the bed. Had to poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out！Then I had to wrap her in a blanket to keep her from scratching me. But it worked. I hauled her fat butt downstairs and threw her out into the back yard！”

The cab driver hit a parked car.

向母親告別

晚上，一對夫婦打扮停當，準備出去。他們打電話叫了一輛出租車，然后打開了一盞夜燈，把他們心愛的長尾小鸚鵡藏好，并把家貓弄到了后院。

出租車到了，他們打開前門準備離開。突然，那只貓迅捷地溜回屋內。他們不想把貓關在屋內，因為它總是想吃掉那只鸚鵡。妻子出門走向出租車，丈夫則返回屋內。貓跑到了樓上，丈夫在后面拼命追趕。

妻子不想讓出租車司機知道自己的家里馬上就空無一人，說丈夫馬上就出來?！八褪巧蠘歉业哪赣H告別?！?

幾分鐘以后，丈夫鉆進了出租車，車開了?！皩Σ黄?，我來晚了?！彼f道，“那個蠢婆娘一直躲在床底下。我得拿個衣架把她給鉤出來！然后我用一床毯子把她裹著，這樣她的爪子就抓不到我了。這方法真有效。我拖著她的肥屁股下樓，把她扔到了后院?！?

出租車司機撞上了一輛停著的汽車。
