Laugh over this! 笑话一则

My 12 year old son kept asking everybody the only "trick" question he knew: "Which is heavier, a pound of metal or a pound of cotton?". Believe me! Many people who had fast mouth always gave incorrect answer, which amused my son a lot and motivated his checking people around.

Here was one checking he made at school:

"Which is heavier, a pound of metal or a pound of cotton?", he started his routine on one of his classmate, a same age teen boy. The boy paused for a moment, then suddenly burst out loud with anger: "Monty! Come on. How could you ask me such a stupid question? This is humiliating! You really think I am an idiot and I can't answer you such a simple question?" "Then, which is heavier?", my son murmured. "Of course! The metal is!!"

我儿子十二岁的时候见人就问：“是一磅金属重还是一磅棉花重？”。信不信由你！不少脑筋慢嘴巴快的人总要答错。
有一天，我儿子在学校问一个和他一般大的男孩同样的问题。这男孩愣了愣，突然很生气地对我儿子大声讲：“你怎么会问这么傻的问题。你太瞧不起人了！你以为我苯得连这么简单的答案都不知道？” “那到底是那个重嘛？”我儿子问得小心翼翼。“当然是金属重啰！！”
