Bedtime Prayers

Julie was saying her bedtime prayers. “Please God，” she said， “make Naples the capital of Italy. Make Naples the capital of Italy.”

And Julie replied， “Because thats what I put in my geography exam！”

Beware of Dog！

As a man entered a little country store， he noticed a sign warning， “Danger！Beware of

dog！” posted on the glass door. Inside， he noticed a harmless old hound dog asleep on the floor beside the cash register. “Is that the dog folks are supposed to beware of？” he asked the owner. “Yes， thats him，” came the reply. The stranger couldnt help but being amused. “That certainly doesnt look like a dangerous dog to me. Why in the world would you post that sign？” “Because，” the owner explained， “before I posted that sign， people kept tripping him over！”

小明说：你没听老师说“去你个头”啊！
