1. Misunderstanding
Our first day at a resort, my wife and I decided to hit the
beach. When I went back to our room to get something to
drink, the hotel maid was making our bed. I grabbed my
cooler and was on my way out when I paused and asked,
“Can we drink beer on the beach?”
“Sure,” she said, “but I have to finish the rest of the rooms
first.”

vision of God by her bedside. “Will I die?” she asks.
God says, “No. You have thirty more years to live.”
With thirty years to look forward to, she decides to make
the best of it. So since she’s in the hospital, she gets breast
implants, liposuction, a tummy tuck, hair transplants, and
collagen injections in her lips. She looks great!
The day she‘s discharged, she exits the hospital with a
swagger, crosses the street, and is immediately hit by an
ambulance and killed.
Up in heaven, she sees God.
“You said I had thirty more years to live,” she complains.
“That’s true,” says God.
“So what happened?”
God shrugs. “I didn’t recognize you.”

“你说我还能再活三十年，”她抱怨道。
“那是真的，”上帝说。
“所以发生了什么事？”
上帝耸了耸肩。 “我没认出你。”
