让小的干吧
Get the kid
A bit of advice for those about to retire. If you are only 65，never move to a retirement community. Everybody else is in their 70s，80s，or 90s. So when something has to be moved，lifted or loaded，they yell，“Get the kid.”
让小的干吧

Contented married life

“That sounds reasonable，” answered his friend sympathetically. “And what sort of decisions does your wife make？”
“Well，” answered the man，“she decides what jobs I apply for，what sort of house we live in，what furniture we have，where we go for our holidays，and things like that.”
His friend was surprised. “Oh？” he said. “And what do you consider important decisions then？”
“Well，” answered the man，“I decide who should be Prime Minister，whether we should increase our help to poor countries，what we should do about the atom bomb，and things like that.”

“嗯，”他回答：“我决定谁来当首相，我们是否要增加对贫困国家的援助，怎么处理原子弹等等这些问题。”
