American Humor
A lawyer's dog, running around town unleashed, heads for a butcher shop and steals a roast. The butcher goes to the lawyer's office and asks, "if a dog running unleashed steals a piece of meat from my store, do I have a right to demand payment for the meat from the dog's owner?" The lawyer answers, "Absolutely."

British Joke
A man asked for a meal in a restaurant. The waiter brought the food and put it on the table. After a moment, the man called the waiter and said: ----"Waiter! Waiter! There's a fly in my soup!"
过了几天，男子又去这家商店买猫食。 “给我两盒猫食。” “我们有规定，您必须证明您有猫。” 还是那个售货员，男子又与她磨蹭了半天，结果还是不 得不回家把猫带来才买到了猫食。 又过了几天，男子抱着挖有一个洞的大纸箱来到那家商 店，找到那个售货员。
“您买些什么？”
“你把手伸进去就知道啦。” 售货员把手伸了进去：“是什么呀，粘乎乎的。” “我想买两卷儿手纸。”
"Then you owe me $8.50. Your dog was loose and stole a roast from me today."
The lawyer, without a word, writes the butcher a check for $8.50. The butcher, having a feeling of satisfaction, leaves. Three days later, the butcher finds a bill from the lawyer: $100 due for a consultation.
