在丈夫下班回家的时候,妻子正忙着做爱尔兰炖肉。丈夫过来帮忙。“你帮不了什么忙啊,”妻子说,“不过你可以帮我挖一棵大头菜。”“多大的?”男人问。“哦,和你脑袋一样大吧。”妻子不耐烦地说。丈夫离开了一会儿,然后拿着一棵大头菜回来。妻子咧嘴笑着把大头菜接过来。“你在笑什么?”他问。妻子说:“刚刚邻居杰克·史密斯打电话告诉我,他看见你在后面的地里把帽子放在一棵又一棵大头菜上,试试它们的大小。” When her husband came home from get off work, his wife was busy making Irish stew. Husband came to help. “You can not help me,” said the wife, “but you can dig a kohlrabi for me.” “How old?” Asked the man. “Oh, just as big as your head.” The wife said impatiently. Her husband left for a moment, then came back with a kohlrabi. Wife smiled and picked up the rutabaga. “What are you laughing?” He asked. The wife said: “Just called Jack Smith, my neighbor, to tell me that he saw you put hats in the fields behind them and try their size.”
