Professor Godwin,feeling unwell,wrote on his bedroom door this notice:"The professor will be unable to meet his classes this evening." A student rubbed out a letter and made it,"The professor will be unable to meet his lasses this evening." Godwin,perceiving this,turned the tables by striking off the next letter,and making the notice read;" The professor will be unable to meet his asses this evening.
譯文：戈德溫博士感到不舒服,于是寫(xiě)了張便條貼在臥室門上：“晚上博士不能來(lái)上課了.”一學(xué)生看后將一字母擦去,意思就變成了：“晚上博士不能來(lái)見(jiàn)他的情人們了.”戈德溫博士看后,心生一計(jì),又擦掉一個(gè)字母,最后便條的內(nèi)容就成了“晚上博士不能來(lái)見(jiàn)他的蠢驢們了.”
（注：class班級(jí)；lass情人；ass蠢驢,關(guān)鍵在表演時(shí)可重讀這些詞,如果不熟悉的話讓觀眾說(shuō)出意思,不然毫無(wú)效果）
