KIDNAPPING
A blonde was down on her luck. In order to raise some money, she
decided to kidnap a kid and hold him for ransom. She went to the
playground, grabbed a kid, took him behind a tree, and told him, "I've
kidnapped you."

kaçırmak" kavramından anlam genişlemesiyle)...

She then wrote a note saying, "I've kidnapped your kid. Tomorrow morning,
put $10,000 in a paper bag and put it under the big tree next to the slide
on the north side of the playground. Signed, A Blonde." The blonde pinned
the note to the kid's shirt and sent him home to show it to his parents.
slide = kaydırak...
playground = çocuk parkı...
pinned

The next morning the blonde checked, and sure enough, a paper bag was
sitting beneath the pecan tree. The blonde opened up the bag and found the
$10,000 with a note that said, "How could you do this to a fellow blonde?"
sure enough =
"gerçekten de"
şeklinde çeviriniz... How could you... etc
= "Bunu nasıl tıpkı
senin gibi blonde olan bana yapabilirsin?" (Teessüf ifadesi)...
JUST MY LUCK !!
Standing at the
edge of a lake, a man noticed a woman screaming for help in some distance.
Unable to swim, the man looked around him and saw fisherman running up. The
man said, "My wife is drowning and I can't swim. Please save her. I'll
give you a hundred dollars."
The fisherman dove into the water. In ten powerful strokes, he reached the
woman, put his arm around her, and swam back to shore. Depositing her at
the feet of the man, the fisherman said, "Okay, where's my hundred?"

The man said, "Look, when I saw her going down for the third time, I
thought it was my wife. But this is my mother-in- law."
The fisherman reached into his pocket and said, "Just my luck. How much do
I owe you?"

Her mother replied,

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER
The children had all been photographed, and the
teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group
picture.

ikna etmek, inandırmak...
"Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up
and say, 'There's Jennifer; she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael. He's a
doctor.'"
Just then, a sarcastic comment from the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher.
She's dead."

WHAT A BLOOPER !!

matter clear, she said, "Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as
you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face."

"Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position
the blood doesn't run into my feet?"
A little fellow shouted, "Cause your feet ain't empty."
Then why is it
that... =
Niye öyleyse...?
'cause
[konuşma d.] =
