A husband and wife drove for miles in silence after a terrible argument in which neither would budge¹. The husband pointed² to a mule³ in a pasture. "Relative of yours?" he asked. "Yes," she replied. "By marriage."

一对夫妻开着车出去，走了很长一段时间谁也不吭声。因为在这之前他们曾争吵得很历害，谁也不肯让步。丈夫指着牧场上的一头骡子问道：“是你的亲戚吗？”“是的，”妻子回答， “是婆家的亲戚。”
