叔本华说：生命是一团欲望，欲望不满足便痛苦，满足便无聊，人生就在痛苦和无聊之间摇摆。

《无赖的逻辑》

   无赖向朋友借了一笔钱。三天后，朋友催他还钱，他义愤填膺的叫起来：

   “你怎么这样计较，才几天，就来逼债？”

   朋友尴尬一笑，按下不提。三年后再催还，无赖有义愤填膺的叫喊起来：

   “你怎么这样计较，多久了，还念念不忘？”

   无赖终于没有还钱，并且逢人便说这位朋友多么吝啬计较，不够朋友。

《寻短见的少妇》

    夏天的傍晚，一个美丽的少妇投河自尽,被正在河中划船的白胡子艄公救起。“你

年纪轻轻，为何寻短见？ ”艄公问。“我结婚两年，丈夫就遗弃了我，接著孩子又病

死了。您说，我活著还有什么乐趣？” 少妇哭诉道：“两年前你是怎么过的？”艄公

又问。少妇的眼睛亮了：“那时我自由自在，无忧无虑 ......”。“那时你有丈夫和孩子吗？”“没有” ,“那么， 你不过是被命运之船送回到了两年前。现在你又自由

自在、无忧无虑了，请上岸吧。” 话音刚落，少妇已在岸上，艄公则不知去向。 
    少妇犹如做了一个梦，她揉了揉眼睛，想了想，离岸走了。她没有再寻短见。

Some punch lines:

Everybody wants to become somebody.

Life is but a dream.

"If I could separate me from myself, I'd stay away from me."

"She was sobbing bleeding it wasn't the first time it would be the last." "They lived in a small town in an Eastern State it was nowhere anywhere everywhere, a small American town full of alcohol, abuse and religion."

Anywhere and everywhere yet still going nowhere…

And a joke:

Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, And Nobody

This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.

Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done。
