Ideal

Translated by OristarA

Father asks his son when he sees him staring into the skies: "Son, you've been 4 years old. What will you do when you've grown up?"

His son relies:"If I grow up as a man, I will like to be a pilot; and if I grow up as a woman, I will like to be an air hostess."

@oristarA,

A Father sees his 4 yr old son staring into the skies: "Son,What do want to do when you grown up?"
The son replies, "If I grow up as a man, I would like to be a pilot; and if I grow to be a woman, I'd like to be an air hostess."

A Father sees his 4 yr old son staring into the skies: "Son,What do want to do when you grown up?" The son replies, "either a pilot or an air hostess." The perplexed father says "pilot or air hostess?" The son replies "well, it depends if I grow up to be a man or a woman!"

@oristarA,

Is this supposed to be a joke?

@oristarA,

Maybe Chinese culture is more tolerant towards trans gender issues?

@panzade,

Lots of jokes have a sexist taint to them, but there are some unwritten rules to them. This joke tends to violate one of them in that it implies that women can't or shouldn't be pilots but should stick to "hostess" jobs. Note that these rules are completely inconsistent. "Blond" jokes tend to make fun of women for example, but they are pretty popular. My guess is those rules are very culturally dependent.

@panzade,

I guess I just didn't "get" the joke.

It simply reads as a couple of sentences in a story that need to be translated.

@engineer,

I've read it again - I guess it's a bit like something you'd find in Women's World or Reader's Digest. A little vignette of mild humor. Not something I'd consider a "joke".

@ehBeth,

I thought of it as one of those "kids say the strangest things" type stories.

@engineer,

Actually, let's try it without knowing the child's gender.

A Father sees his 4 yr old staring into the skies: "What do want to do when you grown up?" The child replies, "either a pilot or an air hostess." The perplexed father says "pilot or air hostess?" The child replies "well, it depends if I grow up to be a man or a woman!"

Here goes the twelfth:

The Design Not to be in Fashion

Translated by OristarA

A lady enters a gallery, wanting to buy a figure painting. But she is not satisfied by any painting that the boss offers her.

Frowned, the lady asks the boss:"Why are all the women in the paintings naked?"

Feigning that he is unable to do anything with it, the boss replies:"I have no idea about how to improve this. If they dressed, the design of the dress will soon be not in fashion."

The twelfth joke is too dry to make it funny?

Let's move along.

Here comes the thirteenth:

The Name of Wife

Translated by OristarA

A jailer informs his prisoner, "Your wife has come to see you."
The prisoner asks, "What is her name?"
The jailer shows contempt and replies impatiently, "How come you not know your wife's name?"
The prisoner answers, "My crime is bigamy."

@oristarA,

That's one of the better ones. I'd make minor changes:

A jailer informs his prisoner, "Your wife has come to see you."
The prisoner asks, "What's her name?"
The jailer says, "You're telling me you don't know your own wife's name?"
The prisoner shrugs and says, "I'm in here for bigamy."
