Your Annual Dementia Test
HAVE A GO ............................
这是你的一年一度老人痴呆症检验。试一试吧！
Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles.
As we grow older, it's important to keep mentally alert. If you don't use it, you lose it!
Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence.
Take the test presented here to determine if you're losing it or not.
当我们一天一天年长，必须确保思路敏捷。
锻炼头脑和锻炼肌肉是同等重要。
如果我们不使用，将永远失去它。
检验后，就可知道你有没有失去它。

Q4. It is twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany.
(If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany). Anyway, during the flight, two engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he can do so and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of 'no man's land' between East Germany and West Germany.
Where would you bury the survivors? East Germany, West Germany or 'no man's land'?

What a great idea 绝顶好计
(Courtesy of a forwarded email from Donald) （感谢Donald转寄原文，爱仁译为中文）
FOR ALL YOU GARDENERS OUT THERE !!! WHAT A GREAT IDEA !!!
致所有的园丁。这是绝顶好计。
An old Ukrainian about 80 years old lived alone in Winnipeg. He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard.
有一个80岁的乌克兰老人家独自住在加拿大的温尼培。他很想在他的园地里栽种西红柿（蕃茄），可是对他而言，这可是一项困难的工作，因为土地实在太硬了。
His only son, Walter, who used to help him, was in prison in prison in Stony Mountain Pen.
他的独子华特，以往帮他干活，目前在牢里服刑。
The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:
Dear Walter,
I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over.
I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.
Love,
Papa
老人写信给他的儿子，向他倾诉困境。
亲爱的华特
我觉得很沮丧，看来今年我是无法种好西红柿（蕃茄）了。我一人无法掘地。我知道，如果你在这里，我就没有这个烦恼了。我也知道，你很乐意为我掘地，就像以往。
爱你的
老爸
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Papa,
Don't dig up that garden. That's where the bodies are buried.
Love,
Walter
多日后，他收到儿子的来信。
亲爱的老爸
不要掘地。那里埋有尸体。
爱你
华特
At 4 a.m. the next morning, RCMP and local Winnipeg police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left.
第二日清晨4时，一大帮刑警来到现场，把每一寸的园地都掘开来，可是无法找到尸体。他们向老人致歉并离开。
That same day the old man received another letter from his son.
Dear Papa,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love you,
Walter
同日老人收到儿子的另一封信。
亲爱的老爸
你现在可以栽种西红柿（蕃茄）了。 以我现况而言，那是我唯一能帮你的办法。
爱你的
华特
