What's wrong with your horse? 馬有什么毛病嗎？

英語笑話

After his beloved horse died, a man wanted to place an ad in the newspaper like this: Horse saddle and bridle for $50.

Inadvertently the paper added a comma to the ad, which read instead: Horse, saddle and bridle for $50.

Immediately someone responded to the ad, "That's an awfully cheap price for a horse," said the caller, "What's wrong with your horse?"

Well, he is dead, replied the man who placed the erroneously typed ad.

中文翻譯

一個人鐘愛的馬死了，他打算在報上登則廣告如下：50元賣馬鞍和馬韁繩。

無意中報紙在廣告語中加了個逗號，讀起來成這樣了，50元賣馬，馬鞍和馬韁繩。

馬上就有人詢問這則廣告，“這馬的價格真是太便宜了，”詢問者說：“馬有什么毛病嗎？”

“哦，它是死的，”安排這條誤人的廣告的人回答道。
