Women
Shopping - A
Joke!
05/19/09
Ler, ouvir e entender
piadas em inglês pode ser um desafio se você não estiver
acostumado com as sutilezas da língua, da cultura e do modo
de pensar em inglês. Como então apreciar e entender as
piadas?
Só a exposição ao
desconhecido, e o constante contato, é que o torna
familiar. Se você não está acostumado a ler/ouvir piadas em
inglês, tudo parece muito difícil. Mas quando você
começa a adicionar essa atividade aos seus outros
recursos de estudo, a sua compreensão gradativamente
melhora. Com as piadas você passa a conhecer mais
expressões coloquiais, aspectos da cultura e a maneira de
fazer humor em inglês. Claro que essa maneira de fazer
humor vai depender, em muitos casos, da origem do
inglês - se for inglês britânico, ou americano, ou
mesmo o inglês falado na Irlanda or no Caribe! Em
cada região a piada terá um tom diferente,
e gírias e significados diferentes,
também!
So, here is this
funny joke about how nuts women can be when they are
shopping - specially when they find real bargains! About
this, I guess the origin doesn't matter much, because as
far as shopping is concerned... I believe most of women
are the same!
This one was
sent by my dear friend Joe Graywolf - Thanks Joe!
:-)
Dica: Leia
primeiro toda a piada sem se preocupar com as palavras que
não conhece. Depois de ler tudo, volte lendo novamente e
aponte o cursor sobre as palavras grifadas e em azul, para
saber mais sobre o significado delas. Você vai saber como
dizer UTI em inglês, e a expressão "Acabei
comprando...".

shopping...
A woman was in town on a shopping trip. She began her day
finding the most perfect shoes in the first shop and a
beautiful dress on sale in the second. In the third shop,
everything had just been reduced by 50 percent when her
mobile phone rang. It was a female doctor notifying her
that her husband had just been in a terrible car accident
and was in critical condition and in the ICU .
(leia: /ai-ci-iu/)
The woman told the doctor to
inform her husband where she was and that she'd be there as
soon as possible. As she
hung
up she
realized she was leaving what was shaping up to be her best
day ever in the boutiques. She decided to get in a couple
of more shops before heading to the hospital.
She
ended
up shopping
the rest of the morning, finishing her
trip with a
cup of coffee and a beautiful chocolate cake slice,
compliments of the last shop. She was
jubilant.
Then she remembered her
husband. Feeling guilty, she dashed
to the
hospital. She saw the
doctor in the corridor and asked about
her husband's condition. The lady
doctor glared
at her and
shouted, "You went ahead and finished your
shopping trip didn't you? I hope
you're proud of yourself!
While you were out for the past four
hours enjoying
yourselfin town, your husband has
been
languishing
in
the Intensive
Care Unit!
"It's just as well you went
ahead and finished, because it will
more than likely
be the last shopping trip you ever take! For the rest
of his life he
will require round the
clock care. And he will now
be your
career!"
The woman was
feeling so guilty
she
broke down and sobbed.
The lady
doctor then chuckled and
said, "I'm just pulling your
leg. He's dead. Show me what you
bought!"
A
Quote About Shopping:
"One of
the most difficult things in the world is to convince a
woman that even a bargain costs
money."
