【笑话原文】

My Husband Will Be Home Soon

A married man was visiting his girlfriend when she requested that he shave his beard.

“Oh James, I like your beard, but I would really love to see your handsome face.”

James replied, “My wife loves this beard, I couldn't possibly do it, she would kill me!”

“Oh please,”the girlfriend asked again, in a sexy little voice...

“Oh really, I can't,”he replied...“My wife loves this beard!”

The girlfriend asked once more, and he sighed and finally gave in.

That night James crawled into bed with his wife while she was sleeping. The wife was awakened somewhat, felt his face and replied, “Oh Michael, you shouldn't be here, my husband will be home soon!“

【中文译文】

一个已婚男人去拜访他的女朋友时，女朋友要求他剃去胡须。 噢，詹姆斯，我喜欢你的胡子，但我更喜欢看到你英俊的面孔。 詹姆斯回答说，我的妻子喜欢我的胡子，所以我不可能剃掉它，否则她会杀了我的。 噢，我求你了，女朋友用一种低沉的、性感的声音又一次说道。 可是，我不能，他回答道，我的妻子喜欢这胡子。 在女朋友再三请求下，他终于屈服同意了。夜里，在妻子熟睡时，詹姆斯爬上了床。 妻子朦朦胧胧地摸了摸他的脸说道，噢，迈克尔，你不应该在这里，我的丈夫很快就要回来了。
