【笑话原文】

I Am Acting Like a Lady

One day when women's dresses were on sale at the FarEast Department Store, a dignified middle-aged man decided to get his wife a piece. But he soon found himself being battered by frantic women. He stood it as long as he could; then, with head lowered and arms flailing, he plowed through the crowed.

“You there!”Yelled a thrill voice. Can't you act like a gentleman?”

“Listen,”he said, “I have been acting like a gentleman for an hour. From now on, I am acting like a lady.”
