Q: 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……放入，放进馅饼中去”；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.

　　假如我们知道priest的意思是“牧师”以及marry的不同含义的话，就不会觉得这个回答让人费解了。"marry"既可以表示“和…结婚”；又可以指“（牧师等）为…证婚”。
　　　　　　
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."）

　　这是一个斗智斗勇的典型。因为当胖子对瘦子说道"看来你好象经历了一场饥荒"，暗含了对瘦子瘦的讽刺；而瘦子则毫不示弱马上还击说："看来好象是你导致了这场饥荒"，又暗含了对胖子胖的讽喻。（skinny: 极瘦的，骨瘦如柴的。famine:饥荒）
