美国流行笑话：Falling off the fridge 从冰箱上掉下来

181　Falling off the fridge 从冰箱上掉下来

A hearing-impaired person, I was on the phone with my brother, excitedly telling him about the cochlear ear implant I was getting. “I'm going to have a magnet implanted in my head as part of the procedure,” I told him. He asked why, and I read him the technical explanation from a booklet. “Oh,” he said. “I thought it was to keep you from falling off the fridge.”
我是一个听力受损的人。我正在给弟弟打电话，兴奋地告诉他我要做一个耳蜗再造手术。我告诉他，作为整个过程的一部分，要在我的头部装一块磁铁。他问我为什么要这样做。我把一本小册子里的技术说明念给他听。他说：“噢，我以为是要防止你从冰箱上掉下来呢。”
