医疗笑话：5、 A cure for a headache 治疗头痛

5. A cure for a headache

One day a man went into a chemist's shop and said, "Have you anything to cure a headache?" The chemist took a bottle from a shelf, held it under the gentleman's nose and took out the cork1. The smell was so strong that tears came into the man's eyes and ran down his cheeks.

What did you do that for? He said angrily, as soon as he could get back his breath.

But that medicine has cured your headache, hasn't it? said the chemist.

You fool, said the man, "It's my wife that has the headache, not me!"

Notes:

1. cork 软木塞

2. cheek 面颊，脸颊

治疗头痛

一天，一个男人走进药店，问道：“有治疗头痛的药吗？”药剂师从架子上取下一个瓶子，把它放到买药人的鼻子下，然后拔开瓶塞。药味太强烈了，买药人的眼睛里涌出了泪水，沿着双颊流下来。

“你这是干什么？”买药人一恢复常态就愤怒地问。

药剂师说：“不过，这种药却治好了你的头痛，不是吗？”

“你这个笨蛋。”买药人说，“头痛的是人我老婆，不是我！”
