dant was guilty。 The jury went into the jury…room; the judge started getting ready to go home; and everyone waited。
After nearly three hours; the judge was totally out of patience and sent the bailiff into the jury…room to see what was holding up the verdict。 When the bailiff returned; the judge said; “Well have they got a verdict yet?”
The bailiff shook his head and said; “Verdict? Hell; they’re still doing nominating speeches for the foreman’s position!”
天堂裡的教皇
教皇去世後,就來到了天堂。聖彼得問候他:“見到你很高興,一切都已經安排就緒。”隨後,聖彼得帶著他走到街上,看了看教皇的新房子。那是一棟小巧而舒適的別墅,一共有五個房間。聖彼得建議教皇先安頓下來,然後再四處去拜訪其他的居民。
在這裡,教皇不僅與許多老朋友重逢了,而且還認識了不少新朋友。其中有一位已故的律師,邀請教皇到家裡吃午飯。到律師家後,教皇頓時驚呆了!那是一棟有45個房間的大廈,有桑拿間、健身房、漂亮的圖書館以及寬敞明亮的房間。
午飯後,教皇碰巧在街上又看到了聖彼得,便上前問道:“我可不是發牢騷啊!為什麼我只能得到一個小別墅,而那個律師卻有那麼豪華的大廈?”
聖彼得回答說:“你看,我們這裡到處都是教皇,可律師卻只有他一個。”
Pope in Heaven
The Pope dies and goes to heaven。 St。 Peter greets him and says。 “Glad to see you; we’ve got your place all ready。” Peter then takes the Pope down the street and shows him his new home: a small but fortable cottage of 5 rooms。 Peter advises the Pope to settle in; and then wander around meeting the other residents。
