采購(gòu)過(guò)早

　　那天是圣誕節(jié)，法官在審訊犯人時(shí)也有點(diǎn)惻隱之心。你為什么而被起訴？他問(wèn)。

　　采購(gòu)圣誕節(jié)物品過(guò)早。被告答。

　　這不算犯法，法官回答，你購(gòu)物多早？

　　在商店開(kāi)門(mén)之前，犯人應(yīng)道。

　　Early Shopper

　　It was Christmas and the judge was in a benevolent mood as he questioned the prisoner. What are you charged with? he asked.

　　Doing my early, replied the defendant.

　　That's no offense, replied the judge, How early were you doing this shopping?

　　Before the store opened, countered the prisoner.
