三个南部的牧师在一家小餐馆里吃午饭。其中的一个说道:“你们知道吗,自从夏天来临,我教堂的阁楼和顶楼就被蝙蝠骚扰,我用尽了一切办法——噪音、喷雾、猫——似乎什么都不能把它们赶走。”
Another said,“Yes,me too.I’ve got hundreds living in my belfry and in the attic.I’ve been had the place fumigated,and they still won’t go away.”
The third said,“I baptized all mine,and made them members of the churchhaven’t seen one back since!”
