Insomnia

A man goes to see a doctor and says to him, "I cannot sleep every night because my neighbor upstairs makes so much loud noise. He lets me get no sleep at all." The doctor says, "Oh, no problem! It's easy! I'll give you something, and you'll have a good sleep." The next day, the man goes to see the doctor again and complains, "I have taken the pills but still cannot sleep." The doctor says, "Oh, my God! They were earplugs for your ears!"

What an Excellent Doctor!

A patient went to see a doctor for his problem, and the doctor gave him a seven-day supply of medicine. The patient took the medicine and died. So his parents became very angry and went to complain to the doctor, and the doctor asked them, "How many days did your son take the medicine?" They answered, "Three days!" The doctor then said, "You see, you see, I gave him a seven-day supply of medicine and he took it for only three days. That's why he died."

Stay A Few More Days

ITALIAN A prisoner finished his sentence in jail and walked out of the prison. A guard at the prison saw him leaving and asked, "Why don't you stay a few more days?"

After You

FRENCH French people are very famous for their gentle manners. Once, a house caught a fire in France and two people inside the house were already burned dark all over their faces. When they rushed to the door, the first one said to the second one, "After you!"

Cool!

ENGLISH The English are very famous for "being cool." An Englishman walked by and saw a lady jumping into a river. So, he took off his hat and said, "Good-bye!" Then, a man ran over and cried, "That's my wife!" And the Englishman said, "Not anymore!"
