"Honey," said the husband to his wife, "I invited a friend home for supper."

"What? Are you crazy? The house is a mess, I haven't been shopping, all the dishes are dirty, and I don't feel like cooking a fancy meal!"

"I know all that."

"Then why did you invite a friend for supper?"

"Because the poor fool's thinking about getting married."

　　“亲爱的，”丈夫对妻子说：“我邀请了一位朋友回家吃晚饭。”

　　“什么？你疯了吗？我们的房子乱糟糟的，我很久没有买过东西回来了，所有的碗碟都是脏的，还有，我可不想做一餐累死人的晚饭。”

　　“这些我全都知道。”

　　“那你为什么还要邀请朋友回来吃晚饭？”

　　“因为那个可怜的笨蛋正考虑要结婚呢。”
