3.A man walks into a doctor's office.He has a cucumber (黄瓜) up his nose,a carrot in his left ear and a banana in his right ear."What's the matter with me?"he asks the doctor.The doctor replies,"You're not eating properly."This is a popular joke among British schoolchildren.It shows Britain's famous dry and satirical (讽刺的) way of seeing the funny side of life.People say this unique sense of humor is one of Britain's national characteristics.

Are the British just not as funny as they think they are?Leo McKinstry,a British journalist,thinks the British are funny."Accusing the British of having no sense of humor is like telling Rolls-Royce (劳斯莱斯) that its cars are cheap and not good in quality,"he says.
