Joke One

Kelly: My mother knitted(织) three socks (袜子) for my brother overseas(海外).

Mike: Why?

Kelly: Because he wrote and said he had grown anther foot.

这个笑话的幽默点在foot这个词，它有两个意思：脚；英尺。Kelly可能不知道foot有“英尺”的意思吧。

Joke Two

Father (in a rage愤怒): Look at all these bills(账单)! Telephone, mortgage (抵押贷款) payment(付款，支付), clothes,food--- the costs (费用) keep going up on all of them! I wish just one thing would go down!

Scott: Dad, here is my report card.

这个笑话的幽默点是，听到父亲说"但愿有一样东西能降价"时，Scott说“给你我的成绩报告单”。keep doing sth.老是做...,不停地做...，go up上升,上涨，go down是它的反义词。
