誰暗殺了林肯
"Who killed Abraham Lincoln*?" the teacher asked her seventh-graders**. Everyone but John raised a hand to answer. " Do you know, John?" she asked. "Dammit***, I don't know and I don't care!" the boy yelled, arms crossed. "Stop asking questions." Upset, the teacher kept John after class and called his father for a conference****. "What's the problem?" John's dad asked when he arrived. "Why is my son in detention?" "I asked John who killed Abe Lincoln and he cursed and said he didn't know and didn't care, and told me to stop asking him questions." Furious, the man grabbed John by the collar. "What's your problem, son?" he shouted. "If you killed the man, just say so."
一名老師問一個初一班級的學生， 「誰暗殺了林肯？」除約翰外，所有學生均舉起手來。 老師走過去問約翰，「你知道答案嗎？」約翰雙手交叉，大聲叫道，「xxx,我不知道，也不在乎。不要再問我問題了。」 老師感到很沮喪，課後把約翰留下來，並打電話讓約翰的爸爸過來開個會。 約翰的爸爸到了之後，問老師， 「我兒子怎麼了，為什麼被您留下來？」 老師說，「我問他，誰殺了林肯，他開始罵人，說他不知道也不在乎，並要我不再問他任何問題。」 約翰的爸爸非常生氣，抓起兒子的衣領，吼道，「兒子呀，你究竟怎麼了？如果是你殺了人，你就承認啊。」
