A Facelift

A man decides to have a facelift for his birthday.
He spends ＄4,000 and feels really good about the result.
On his way home he goes into a bookstore and buys a book
on how to stay young. Before leaving he says to the clerk, “I hope

you don’t mind my asking, but how old do you think I am?”
“About 35” was the reply.
“I’m actually 47 years old,” the man says, feeling really happy.
After that he goes into a coffee shop to celebrate. Before leaving,
he asks the same question. The clerk replies, “Oh, you look
about 29.” This makes him feel really good.
While standing at the bus stop he asks a lady the same question.
She replies, “There is a sure way of telling a man’s age.
If I read your palm, I’ll be able to tell your exact age.”
The man gives the lady his hand, and seconds later she says,
“You are 47 years old.”
“That was brilliant. How did you do that?” the man asks.
The lady replies, “I was behind you in the bookstore.”

整容

一個男人決定為他的生日做一次整容。他花了4，000美元，感覺結果很理想。
在他回家的路上，他進了書店買了一本如何保持年輕的書。離開的時候他跟
售貨員說：“希望你不要介意我的問話，你認為我有多大？”
回答：“大約35歲。”
“我其實是47歲。”這人說，他感覺好極了。
然后他進了一家咖啡館想慶祝一下。離開之前，他又問了同樣的問題。
服務員回答：“噢，你看起來是大約29歲。”這使他真的好高興。
當他在公共汽車站等車時，他問一位女士同樣的問題。她回答：“有一個
辦法能準確地說出男人的年齡。如果我看了你的手相，我就能告訴你確切的年齡。”
他讓女士看他的手，幾秒鐘以后她就說：“你47歲。”
“真不可思議。你是怎么知道的呢？”
女士回答：“在書店里時，我就站在你后面。”
