英語(yǔ)幽默笑話：買錄像機(jī)

Amos asked his mother whether they could have a video.

"I’m afraid we can’t afford one," sighed his mother.

But on the following day in came Amos, staggering beneath the weight of a brand-new video.

"How on earth did you pay for that?" gasped his mother.

"Easy, Mum." replied Amos, "I sold the television!"
