"That's the Tower of London." "I see. How long did it take to build it?" "About 500 years. " "In my country we can
build it in five months," said the visitor.
Shortly after that they came to St. Paul's Cathedral (圣保罗大教堂). "Very interesting! " said the visitor. "How
long did it take to build it?""Nearly 40 years," said the Englishman. "In my country we can finish it in 40 days,"
said the visitor.
This went on all day. They visited most of the best known buildings in the city. Every time they saw a new one,
the visitor asked what it was and how long it took to build it. Then he said that they could do the same thing much
faster in his country. At last the Englishman got angry with the visitor, but he tried not to show it. Several days later

Englishman answered, "I've no idea. It wasn't there last night. "

An expensive car speeding down the main street of a small town was soon over-taken by a young motorcycle policeman. As he started to take out the ticket, the woman in the car said proudly. “Before you go any further, young man, I think you should know that the mayor of this city is a good friend of mine.”
The officer did not say a word, but kept writing.
“I am also a friend of Chief of Police Barnes,” continued the woman, getting angrier each moment.
Still he kept on writing.
“Young man,” she said, “I know Judge Lawson and State Senator Patton.”
Handing the ticket to the woman, the officer asked pleasantly. “Tell me, do you know Bill Bronson?”
“No. Why?” she replied.
“Well, this is the man you should have known,” he said, going back to his motorcycle, “I am Bill Bronson.”
