Excerpt Joke 1: Pei De was an alcoholic. Once, he traveled to a strange city and, after leaving the hotel late at night, was drunk and staggering as he walked. Just as he was standing in the middle of the road waiting for directions, another drunkard approached from the other side, looking even more drunk than Pei De. He seemed to see something strange in the sky and asked Pei De, "Excuse me! What is in the sky—moon or sun?" Pei De looked up and shook his head, saying, "Excuse me! I’m not from here."
Joke 2: An elderly couple asked for a divorce, which surprised people because the husband was 95 years old and the wife was 93. They had been married for 74 years! "You’re already this old, why do you still want to get divorced?" people asked. "I’ve cursed this woman for 65 years, and I really can’t live with her anymore!" the husband said angrily. "Since that’s the case, why didn’t you divorce her earlier?" "Oh, it’s all because of the children," the old wife replied helplessly. "We didn’t want to hurt the children, so we waited until the last one passed away before doing this."
In this vast world, among the countless people, some are busy and weary. It’s rare for a tavern or tea house to have a witty or cultured person tell a good joke, spreading a bit of humor, which can always bring a little relaxation and joy to the mind. The jokes collected in this book range from highbrow to lowbrow, from sophisticated to commonplace, and are a mix of all kinds. Some may make everyone chuckle in amusement, some may bring laughter to the entire audience, and perhaps even help the wise see the bigger picture and gain enlightenment about life.
