An old man came into a clothing store, for and asked the seller, said:
"I need two suits" Sell me two garments. All dialog must be enclosed in ""
The seller says:
"Old man! Why do you need want to buy two? This is a good piece of clothing Our clothing is very durable. You look like you are are very old, about eighty years old. This piece of clothing enough to end your life It will out last you!"
- Since "The first pieces of clothing one is for me and the second thing is for my dad!"
"Your father? If you're eighty years old, then your father probably he must be about a hundred years old!"
"True Right. We need to look elegant for my grandfather's wedding."
"Do "ou have a grandfather? ! In this case, Then he must be one hundred and twenty years old!"
- Right. "Sure is!"
"And he wants to get married!!!" ? !
"Nope. Just a shortgun marriage from his parents." He will not, but his parents forced him to.
I am not going to do a direct translation, otherwise the joke is lost. So I am doing it by meaning. I am going to present my version and you can compare.
