【英语时差8,16】麦克和亚曼达正在聊笑话

Mike: Hey Amanda, want to hear a knock-knock joke?

Amanda: I guess, but they're so corny! What is it?

Mike: Knock-knock!

Amanda: Who's there?

Mike: Mike.

Amanda: Mike who?

Mike: Mike cup is empty. Can I get a refill?

Amanda: Ha-ha. That's so funny I forgot to laugh. I like clever jokes and brain teasers better. See if you know the answer to this brain teaser: "That lawyer is my brother," testified¹ the accountant². But the lawyer testified he didn't have a brother. Who is lying?

Mike: Maybe the lawyer? That's just a guess, though.

Amanda: Neither one is lying. The accountant is the lawyer's SISTER!

Mike: You got me on that one. Listen to this one-liner and maybe you'll like it better than a knock-knock joke. What do you call a judge with no thumbs?

Amanda: I give up. What?
