传教士的讲题

“Oh， that's nice，” said his wife.
The next day， at the grocery store， a young woman who had attended the lecture recognized the minister's wife. “That was certainly an excellent talk your husband gave yesterday， ” she said. “He really has a unique perspective on the subject.” Somewhat chagrined， the minister' s wife replied， “Gee， funny you should think so.

传教士的讲题
一位传教士应邀在当地的妇女健康专题研讨会上作报告。他的妻子问及他的讲题，他要是供认他应邀讲性知识的话，他会无地自容的。他飞快地思索，回答说：“我要讲关于航海的知识。”
“噢，那好极了，”他妻子说。
第二天，在杂货店，一位听过讲座的年轻妇女认出了牧师的妻子。“你丈夫昨天讲得确实好极了，”她说，“在那个问题上他确有独到的见解。”牧师妻子显出有些懊恼地回答说：“唧，你这样认为真是好笑。我是说他仅仅做过两次。第一次他呕吐了，第二次他的帽子被吹掉了。”
