and what is not especially when they are from different countries. here is the joke they chose as the funniest joke in the world. two hunters are out in the woods. one of them falls to the ground. he doesnt seem to be breathing. the other hunter takes out his mobile phone and calls emergency services. “my friend is dead!” he cries to the operator, “what can i do?” the operator, in a calm voice says: “dont worry. i can help. first, make sure hes dead.” there is a silence. then a shot is heard. bang! the hunters voice comes back on the line: “ok, now what? this is perhaps slightly amusing. culturally, it depends on us knowing that often hunters are not considered to be very intelligent people, and that often they are quite violent. but perhaps this is not so all over the world. its quite a “black” joke. the experts also found the second funniest joke: sherlock holmes and dr watson go on a camping trip. after a good dinner and a bottle of wine, they go to sleep. some hours later, holmes wakes up and asks his friend. watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see. millions of stars. replies watson. and what do you infer from that? well, there are millions of planetswe are a small part of the universewe will have a beautiful day tomorrow. what does it tell you, holmes? watson, you idiot! someone has stolen our tent! i personally think this is better. understanding this joke, however, depends on us knowing who sherlock holmes and doctor watson are. it has an unexpected ending something that is very important and necessary for most jokes. surprise can be funny. what is funny on the earth? scientists are excellent at studying complicated (复杂的) things. but some things are much too complicated, even for the most intelligent scientists. 57. it is difficult to find

that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. the poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. we must start in our own homes to remove this kind of poverty.” -mother teresawhen i lived in tribeca, i used to meet a young man named greg who lived on the streets with his dog, bo. sometimes the two would find an old car to sleep in. greg loved his dog so much

bringing the men in her shelter and the dogs from a local animal shelter together to see if maybe through mutual recognition and understanding they could fix and build something that had been broken for too long.davidson saw how deeply the homeless men were affected by these dogs. the strong connection, camaraderie(同志情谊) and trust these beings have for one another are inspiring to be seen and be around. she would bring in one dog at a time from an animal shelter to the pine street inn, where the men had found temporary living quarters.the men would form a bond with the dogs, who in turn gave the men the tools to overcome problems such as trauma(心理创伤), distrust and abandonment. dogs generally heal more quickly from abuse and abandonment issues, so they can be strong for men.61. according
