What's wrong with your horse? 马有什么毛病吗？

英语笑话

After his beloved horse died, a man wanted to place an ad in the newspaper like this: Horse saddle and bridle for $50.

Inadvertently the paper added a comma to the ad, which read instead: Horse, saddle and bridle for $50.

Immediately someone responded to the ad, "That's an awfully cheap price for a horse," said the caller, "What's wrong with your horse?"

Well, he is dead, replied the man who placed the erroneously typed ad.

中文翻译

一个人钟爱的马死了，他打算在报上登则广告如下：50元卖马鞍和马缰绳。

无意中报纸在广告语中加了个逗号，读起来成这样了，50元卖马，马鞍和马缰绳。

马上就有人询问这则广告，“这马的价格真是太便宜了，”询问者说：“马有什么毛病吗？”

“哦，它是死的，”安排这条误人的广告的人回答道。
