Funny Thought: 汤圆
(My first writing in Chinese in more than 20 years, please feel free to laugh at me. 已经二十多年没有用华文书写了。写得不好,请多包涵。我的华文这么差,肯定笑掉您的大门牙,西班牙,葡萄牙)
昨天在餐馆, 订购一碗 "姜汁汤圆". 上菜时才知道, 原来一碗只有一粒汤圆. 一碗才一粒! 真是搞笑.
Waitress 小姐说, 汤圆可以附加购买, 要多少都行, "只要放得下就行".
我就说, 多几粒我肯定放得下.
因为我是男子汉, 大丈夫, 拿得起, 放得下.

Unfortunately, the punch line is a pun, and puns don't translate.
