英文笑话：Chicken soup 鸡汤

Joe was¹ in the hospital and it was time for lunch. He looks at his lunch and says, "I don't like chicken soup, bring something else." The hospital worker said², "It's good for you, the doctor said you should have it." Regardless³, the patient⁴ refused to eat it. That night, a patient in the room with Joe had⁵ a bad stomach⁶ pain⁷ so the nurses came⁸ in to give him an enema. By mistake⁹, they gave¹⁰ the enema to Joe. The following¹¹ week, when he was leaving the hospital, a new patient asked him how he liked the hospital. He told him, "Well, the hospital itself¹² is pretty good, but they're very strict¹³ about their food. when they bring up chicken soup you better eat it, or else they'll come back in the middle of the night and shove¹⁴ it up your behind!"

Joe在住院，一天午餐时间，他看了看自己的饭菜，说：“我不喜欢鸡汤，拿点别的给我吧。”医院的护工说：“鸡汤对您的身体有好处，医生说您得喝这个。” 无论如何，Joe还是不肯喝。那天晚上，和Joe同房间的一个病人得了严重的胃病，于是护士过来给他灌肠。可是他们搞错了，给Joe做了灌肠。第二个礼拜，Joe出院时，新住进来的病人问他觉得医院怎么样。Joe告诉他：“这个医院本身是很好的，但是他们对伙食真的很严格，如果他们让你喝鸡汤，你最好喝了它，不然他们会半夜过来硬是从你后面塞进去！”
