1 钓威士忌/Fishing For Whiskey
“Poor Old fool,” thought the well-dressed gentleman as he watched an old man fish in a puddle outside a pub. So he invited the old man inside for a drink. As they sipped their whiskeys, the gentleman thought he’d humor the old man and asked, “So how many have you caught today?”
The old man replied, “You’re the eighth.”
“可怜的老傻瓜”，衣冠楚楚的绅士看着一个老男人在一家酒吧外的水坑里钓鱼时想到。于是他邀请老人到里面喝酒。当他们抿着自己的威士忌时，绅士想他要跟老者幽默一下，问道：“那么你今天钓到多少？”
老人回答说：“你是第八个。”

The next day the duck walks back into the bar and asks the bartender, "Do you have any grapes"?
The bartender says, "No, I told you we only sell beer, and if you ask me again I’m going to nail your beak to the bar.” So the duck leaves.

5 撅起嘴巴/Pucker Up
One night my friend John and I were sitting at a bar where he used to work, when an attractive woman, a former co-worker, came in and sat next to him. She told him she had just had a fight with her husband, a police officer, and needed to get out of the house for a while.
They had been talking for a few minutes when, as a joke, I leaned over to John. "Don’t look now," I whispered, "but a guy about six-five just walked in. And he’s got a gun."
Without hesitating, John turned to me. "Quick, Ed," he said, "kiss me on the lips."
