Bean arrives at Friday’s meeting with bandages around his mouth
Ann: Are you OK, Mr. Bean? We can come another time, you know.
Bean: I’ll be fine in a few weeks. Damned light bulbs-I thought that forward about them getting stuck in your mouth was just a joke.
Ann: [Tries not to laugh] Me, too. Well, live and learn. Speaking of forwards, we haven’t gotten any from you today.
Bean: Yeah, my computer came down with a virus. All I see are transvestite shots of George W. Bush.
Ann: That virus has been going around our office, too. Say…what did you think of those pictures?

星期五时，炳嘴巴包着绷带来开会
小安： 你还好吧，炳先生？我们可以择期再来。
炳： 我再过几个星期就没事了。可恶的电灯泡——我还以为那个灯泡会卡在嘴里的转寄信是个笑话哩。
小安： （忍住不笑）我也是。上一次当，学一次乖。说到转寄信，我们今天没收到你的来信耶。
炳： 对呀，我的计算机中毒了。只看得到小布什穿女装的照片。
小安： 那个病毒也在我们办公室散布。对了……你觉得那些照片怎么样呢？
