The Touch 文之触摸

This is where words are bound by soul. 

在心灵的牵动下,文字的袅袅舞姿,尽在其中自我陶醉。散文、诗词、故事,点缀人生的平凡、弥补生活的萧索。

同性恋的鸡

一养鸡场的种公鸡有些老了,场主决定买一只新公鸡配种。年轻的公鸡买来了,趾高气扬地与老种鸡见了面。

老公鸡说:“我知道你瞧不起我。记着,谁都有年轻的时候。

今天咱俩来个赛跑怎么样?如果你嬴了,看见没有?”,老公鸡指指院子里的小母鸡们,“全是你的了”。小公鸡胸有成竹,问:“怎么跑?”老公鸡说:“围房子跑20圈,谁先跑完谁嬴。”

开跑后仅两三圈,小公鸡已领先半圈。至第8圈,小公鸡仅差两米就超老公鸡一圈了。这当口老公鸡一声惨叫,屋内的场主以为来了黄鼠狼,提着猎枪冲出屋来,只见新买的小公鸡紧追老公鸡不放。场主怒火中烧,举起枪一枪便了结了小公鸡。场主气哼哼地往屋里走,自语道:“真他妈倒霉,怎么买的公鸡都是同性恋?打死四只了!

Marriage

Marriage is not a word. It is a sentence--a life sentence.

 

Marriage is love. Love is blind. Therefore, marriage is an institution for the blind.

 

Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his Bachelor's Degree and the woman gets her Masters.

 

Marriage is a thing which puts a ring on a woman's finger and two under the man's eyes.

 

Marriage certificate is just another word for a work permit.

 

Marriage is not just a having a wife, but also worries and problems inherited forever.

 

Marriage requires a man to prepare 4 types of "rings":

* The Engagement Ring

* The Wedding Ring

* The Suffering

* The Enduring

 

There was a man who said, "I never knew what happiness was until I got married...and then it was too late!"

 

Love is one long sweet dream, and marriage is the alarm clock.

 

They say when a man holds a woman's hand before marriage, it is love; after marriage, it is self-defense.

 

When a newly married man looks happy, we know why. But when a ten-year married man looks happy, we wonder why.

 

There was this lover who said that he would go through hell for her. They got married, and now he is going through hell.


Monosodium glutamate

A noted biologist, who had been studying little green frogs in a swamp, was stumped. The frog population, despite efforts at predator control, was declining at an alarming rate. A chemist at a nearby college came up with a solution: The frogs, due to a chemical change in the swamp water, simply couldn't stay coupled long enough to reproduce successfully. The chemist then brewed up a new adhesive to assist the frogs' togetherness, which included one part sodium. It seems the little green frogs needed some monosodium glue to mate.

Important Doctor Qualities

First year students at Medical School were receiving Their first anatomy class with a real dead human body.

They all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered with a white sheet. The professor started the class by telling them, "In medicine, it is necessary to have two important qualities as a doctor. The first is that you should not be disgusted by anything involving the human body."

 

The Professor pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the anus of the corpse, withdrew it and stuck it in his mouth.

 

"Go ahead and do the same thing," he told his students. The students initially freaked out, hesitated for several minutes, but eventually took turns sticking a finger in the anus of the corpse and sucking on it.

 

When everyone finished, the Professor looked at the class and told them, "The second most important quality is observation. I stuck in my middle finger but sucked on my index finger. Now learn to pay attention!"

Stupid English

Let's face it

English is a stupid language.

There is no egg in the eggplant

No ham in the hamburger

And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.

French fries were not invented in France.

 

We sometimes take English for granted

But if we examine its paradoxes we find that

Quicksand takes you down slowly

Boxing rings are square

And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

 

If writers write, how come fingers don't finge?

If the plural of tooth is teeth

Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth

If the teacher taught,

Why didn't the preacher praught?

 

If a vegetarian eats vegetables

What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?

Why do people recite at a play

Yet play at a recital?

Park on driveways and

Drive on parkways?

 

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy

Of a language where a house can burn up as

It burns down

And in which you can be filling in a form

By filling it out.

 

English was invented by people, not computers

And it reflects the creativity of the human race

(Which of course isn't a race at all)

 

That is why

When the stars are out they are visible

But when the lights are out they are invisible

And why it is that when I wind up my watch

It starts

But when I wind up this observation,

It ends.

人生,球赛

人生俨似一场球赛。偶尔,你的球会in,有时你的球会进。 进笼也好,篮也好,洞也好。总而言之,目标达到,愿望实现。

但是,在很多的当儿,你的球都会out,完全偏离目标,失望接踵而至。

人生有意气风发,也有失意潦倒的时候。所以,凡事不要太执著。

偶尔,你以为你的球会入笼、入篮、入洞、越过网,但偏偏,它碰到框、撞到网。有洞的,球却在边沿制打转,就是与你斗气,不肯掉进洞里去。离目标如此的近,却那么如此无奈的遥远。

有时,你的球碰到决定赛绩的白线上,你认为是不犯规,但旁人毅然地持异见。

人生充满无奈。最为艰难的,不是化解无奈,而是去接受它。“世界是公平的”是一句乌托邦的想法。在精准的秤,也有它的偏差,何况是百变的人心、人为。

一场球赛最重要的,是搭档、对手。搭档之间的互相扶持,与对手的互相尊重、超越,是比赛的精髓。

一个人不能是荒岛,自我封锁。我们需要亲人、朋友与对手为我们的生活点缀。不过,要认清谁是真正的朋友、真正的敌手。至于敌手,最为真实的不外是自己

叫一个人,局外的观众也好,局内的赛手也好,来叙述一场球赛。相信他描述的,极少
是捧杯夺牌的心情。反而,他对比赛的过程会较为津津乐道。

人生,不要介意举足时的开始抑或止步时的结束。但千万要享受之间的过程。有位名人曾经说过 -墓碑上的那两个年份不重要,郅为刻骨铭心的,则是那不起眼的破折号 "-".

过去的,放手吧!只要你曾经享受整个过程,那已经是足够了。展望未来,不要停留在逝去的光阴。不要忘记,你还有明日的球赛,观众们会守候着你,对手也在等待着你。不要辜负他们。你的生活圈子里,不是只有你只身一人站在中心,还有你身边的人围着你与你转动。一场球赛、一场人生,你、对手、观众与球,一样都不能少!

Skunks

There is one session aired on the radio every morning which is where people will call to the studio to ask for solutions to their daily problems. One particular lady called the studio one day. She asked, "There is one skunk in my basement and I couldn't think of a way to get rid of it. I fear it would spray me with stinky odour."

"You can try sprinkling some breadcrumbs from the basement to the backyard or garden of yours. The skunk should follow the crumb trail and leave."

The lady thanked the person. One hour later, she called in again. "Now I have 2 skunks. What should I do?!"

*For those who couldn't get the joke, you really have lost one of your most vital senses: the sense of humour.*

Joke: Mermaid and the Shells

Why do mermaids wear seashell in place of bras? It is because B-shells are too small while D-shells are too big.


*For those who couldn't get the joke, seashell sounds like C-shell. If you still don't get it, you really have lost one of your most vital senses: the sense of humour.*

Joke: Cup, Bucket and Pail

A normal-minded man visited the psycho ward one day. He met with the administrator of the ward. So, he asked the admin how they judged the severity of the mental illness of their patient. 

The admin said, "We will put a cup, a bucket and a pail beside a water-filled bathtub. Then we asked the person to remove the water from the tub as fast as possible."

"Oh, I got it. So, for a normal person, definitely he will go for the pail, right?" The person asked.

"No. A normal person will just pull the plug and let the water drain. I will go prepare you a room in the ward."

*For those who couldn't get the joke, the plug is the black thing that you will stuff into the sink hole to prevent water from draining. If you still don't get it, you really have lost one of your most vital senses: the sense of humour.*
