Thử dịch cái này để cười xem nào.

Một người đàn ông giàu có và vợ của ông ta đi vào một cửa hàng để mua vòng tay. Cả hai đều không còn quá trẻ nữa. Họ đã xem xét kĩ rất nhiều vòng đẹp và sau nửa giờ họ thấy hai cái vòng rất hay, nhưng họ lưỡng lự không biết chọn cái nào. Một cái thì đắt tiền và cái kia thì rẻ hơn nhiều. Dĩ nhiên là người bán hàng muốn bán cho họ cái vòng đắt tiền vì anh ta muốn kiếm nhiều tiền hơn. Vì vậy anh ta nói với người đàn bà "Hãy tiêu tiền của ông ấy đi và bảo ông ấy mua cái vòng đắt tiền, nếu không ông ấy sẽ làm như thế với vợ hai của ông ta".
Trong một vài giây không ai nói gì lời nào cả.
Cuối cùng người đàn bà thốt lên giận dữ "Vậy nếu ông ta làm như thế thì hóa ra tôi là vợ hai hả?"

Chắc là ý câu chuyện như thế này, but the english version of the funny story is obscure so it makes readers puzzled
