人生如喝水
This joke was sent to me by a friend. For all my friends learning Mandarin, take a crack in understanding the joke. Makes not much sense in Cantonese though. For Mandarin speakers learning English, translate it :) Doesn't matter if the humour is lost. Just a mental floss.
有些人生就像喝水,
孤~独~孤~独~的
一杯子就沒有了.
If you don't understand the pun, ask :)

Try to translate into Chinese. It's not possible if you try to keep the puns intact!
Grammar is important!
Capital letters are the differences between "helping your Uncle Jack off the horse" and "helping your uncle jack off the horse"!

I shall write it in a correction box because here in the comment box, indentation formatting are not preserved.

A meaningful joke.

Translation can be done. However, the intended puns are lost! If you tried using the puns, then it puzzled the English mind. For example, how can you translate this into Chinese?

“孤独孤独”音近拟声词“咕嘟咕嘟”，用英语应很难将这个笑话译出。楼主该试试，O(∩_∩)O哈哈~
