【笑話原文】

My Husband Will Be Home Soon

A married man was visiting his girlfriend when she requested that he shave his beard.

“Oh James, I like your beard, but I would really love to see your handsome face.”

James replied, “My wife loves this beard, I couldn't possibly do it, she would kill me!”

“Oh please,”the girlfriend asked again, in a sexy little voice...

“Oh really, I can't,”he replied...“My wife loves this beard!”

The girlfriend asked once more, and he sighed and finally gave in.

That night James crawled into bed with his wife while she was sleeping. The wife was awakened somewhat, felt his face and replied, “Oh Michael, you shouldn't be here, my husband will be home soon!“

【中文譯文】

一個已婚男人去拜訪他的女朋友時，女朋友要求他剃去胡須。 噢，詹姆斯，我喜歡你的胡子，但我更喜歡看到你英俊的面孔。 詹姆斯回答說，我的妻子喜歡我的胡子，所以我不可能剃掉它，否則她會殺了我的。 噢，我求你了，女朋友用一種低沉的、性感的聲音又一次說道。 可是，我不能，他回答道，我的妻子喜歡這胡子。 在女朋友再三請求下，他終于屈服同意了。夜里，在妻子熟睡時，詹姆斯爬上了床。 妻子朦朦朧朧地摸了摸他的臉說道，噢，邁克爾，你不應該在這里，我的丈夫很快就要回來了。
