It was rush hour and I was dashing to a train in New York City's Grand Central Terminal - As I neared the gate, a plump, middle-aged woman sprinted up from behind, lost her footing on the smooth marble floor and slid onto her back.

Gaining her composure, she winked at me and said, "Do you always have beautiful women failing at your feet?"

Have You Ceased Beating Your Wife?你停止打你老婆了吗?
This story is told of a browbeating counsel,who habitually endeavored to terrorize his opponent‘s witnesses.
One witness rather tended to preface his replies with lengthy explanations.
“I want‘yes’or‘no,’”thundered counsel.“There is no need for you to argue the point!”
“But there are some questions which cannot be answered by‘yes’or‘no,’”mildly responded the witness.
“There are not!” snapped the lawyer.
“Oh,” said the witness,“answer this then:“Have you ceased beating your wife?”

“我要你回答‘是’或者‘不是’,”辩护律师怒喝道: “你没有必要就这个问题进行争论。”
“可是有些问题无法用‘是’或者‘不是’来回答。”这位证人温和地回敬他。
“不存在这样的问题!”律师厉声打断他。
“噢,”证人说:“那么请你回答这个问题:“你停止打你老婆了吗?”

甜甜被父亲罚跪打屁股作文
简介:时钟已指向十二点了,书房里甜甜还低头跪在搓衣板上哭泣。疼痛、屈辱、困乏交织着,可是她不克动,不敢动,父亲的许可,她是不克离开搓衣板的。而此时父亲就在旁边伏案疾书,好像遗忘了甜甜的,忘了女儿还在搓衣板上守候他的?特赫?。她只能守候,等父亲写作完毕,再聆?
时钟已指向十二点了,书房里甜甜还低头跪在搓衣板上哭泣。疼痛、屈辱、困乏交织着,可是她不克动,不敢动,父亲的许可,她是不克离开搓衣板的。而此时父亲就在旁边伏案疾书,好像遗忘了甜甜的忘了女儿还在搓衣板上守候他的?特赫?。她只能守候,等父亲写作完毕,再聆听一番训话,才华从搓衣板站起?
说起来,甜甜很想欠亨,父亲是一所大学的教授,也算是文化条理的人了,可是在教育孩子的要领上观念极其?落后?:他坚信?黄荆棍下出好人?,并一再声称爷爷当年的棍棒相加,才有的。
于是他将方法又移植到了女儿甜甜身上,从她三岁开始就如今甜甜十七岁了,正上高三,每每犯了错,却逃不外一顿屁股板子,外加几小时跪搓板的处罚。
甜甜自幼便很淘气,经常挨打。现在大了,究竟懂事父亲也不像幼时那样经常给她一顿教训了。但幼时的挨打不外只是象征性地恐吓恐吓罢了,可现在,一顿打便能让她循规蹈矩地乖上好久,究竟疼痛是刻骨铭心的。每次挨打时,她心里会恨透了父亲,甚至诅咒他,可是冷静后凭心想想,父亲每次打她不无原理的。
好比,挨打的都市是在周五或周六的晚上,不会天的上课,不然到了教室坐都坐不下,岂被同学们笑话?这是给足了她面子。假如平时犯了较严重的错误,父亲只会记下来,到周末再?算总账?。再有,每次挨打所犯的错误必是父亲之前警告过她不许犯的,所谓?不知者不为过?。
父亲也从不会甜甜的某次考试分数欠好看而揍她一顿,但尽对会细细地观察她的学习假如发觉偷懒、不的苗头,先是警告一番,假如不奏效,可是要板子上身了两个月前的暑假,甜甜只顾贪玩、看电视,没好好暑假作业,直到开学前几天才紧赶慢赶地偷偷补作业,有一天竟深夜两点趴在桌上睡着了。
夜半父亲起来看见甜甜房间里的灯光还亮着,过往一看,发觉了甜甜在补暑假作业,而此前,甜甜却哄他说作业早做完了。父亲立即发怒,而是叫醒甜甜,让她先上床睡觉,天再写。
比及甜甜把所作业都补完了,父亲和她?算账?了。?作业都补完了嗯。?甜甜预料到肯定要挨打了,声音小得像蚊子。?真是希奇了,你两个星期前我问你,你作业做完了吗?天上又?失下一堆作业是吧不?那是 ?究竟这么大女孩子了,要让甜甜说出原来撒了谎有些委曲的。?不说,欠好意思了?现在知道欠好意思,看电视的时候干嘛往了,想哄我,哼,你还嫩了点! ?对、抱歉,我下次改了。?下次,我说没说过撒谎有下次,撒谎打了你几多次? 记不住! 要让你长长记性! 往,拿家法来?这家法,说来祖传的呢。
是甜甜的曾祖父做私塾先生时用来处罚学生的戒方,甜甜的爷爷尝过它的厉害,甜甜的爸爸也尝过,现在轮到甜甜了。
家法是一块上好的竹木做的,约一尺长,三指宽,打在身上发出清脆的声音,皮肉发麻而不伤及筋骨,结实。甜甜知道此时更多的辩解只能换来爸爸加倍的恼怒,便乖乖地往她房间的床头上方取下了家法。父亲不许甜甜的房间贴些诸如周杰伦、F4的海报,斥之为?污七八糟?的东西,而是将家法置于甜甜的床头,无非是警示甜甜不许堕落。爸爸在书房等着了,甜甜把家法递给爸爸,带着哭腔说:?爸爸,我下次再也不了。?我早说了,下次,现在知道怕,晚了!不要我多说,沙发上趴好?甜甜知道请求也没用,每次爸爸决意要打她时,一次逃?失了的。只得乖乖地趴在沙发的扶手上。
真的都记不清里挨了几多次打了。爸爸走掀开甜甜的睡裙,一把扯下小内裤,甜甜 >开始哭泣了。在甜甜小的时候,爸爸经常是把她摁在膝上,用手照着光屁股一阵好打。
现在甜甜大了,当爸爸决意要用家法给她以教训时,便命她趴在沙发的扶手上,但照旧是打光屁股,甜甜曾向爸爸要求过可不可以穿着裤子挨打,哪怕是内裤也行,这么大了,打光屁股究竟很丢人的。
爸爸同意,说当爹的教训女儿有丢人的,不打光屁股怎么能让你记得住?哭泣中,爸爸的板子已下来了,只是一味地打,并不说一句话,爸爸以为挨打的时候主要是要让甜甜记住疼痛,这时说的话她往往应应得好可一句也记不住。训话是挨完打后的环节。
甜甜也只是小声地哭,并不敢大声地嚎,她怕邻居们闻声,楼下还住着同班的男生呢。至于打几多下,完全视爸爸的决定,也主要是由甜甜犯的错误了。好比撒谎是最严重的错误,爸爸肯定会打得更重,并且适才爸爸说过要让甜甜长长记性的。
这顿打必轻不了。屋子里甜甜轻轻的哭声和家法一下下?啪啪啪?的声音,屁股红肿了,爸爸却好像停止的意思。甜甜受不了请求道:?爸爸,饶了我吧,我包管听话、好、好学习。?爸爸仍一下一下地让板子连续落下,说了一句:?我非让你记住了! ?甜甜的屁股扭动着,却丝尽不克减轻任何疼痛,板子一下下地无误地打在屁股上,整个屁股通红的,有些地方还渗着血点。
?啪、啪、啪、啪?,一声清脆的响声,爸爸停止了。甜甜艰难地站起身,揉着红肿的屁股,将已滑落在脚跟的内裤提起。她知道下环节也欠好过――那罚跪。书房的沙发后有搓衣板,每次挨完打,甜甜都被命令跪在上面反省。
罚跪的由爸爸而定,假如爸爸觉得甜甜受打、认错的跪上小时就能起来了,认完错,便该干干往了。可假如甜甜一犯犟,就说禁绝了,打的重不说,跪上三五个小时有过的,还要写包管,总之――爸爸的原则是:要让甜甜挨打挨得心服口服。
就在甜甜揉屁股的时候,爸爸已从沙发后取出搓衣板,地上,指了指对甜甜说:?老规矩啊,想清楚了。想清楚了写包管,开学就高三了,你计划怎样度过。?甜甜乖乖地跪在了搓衣板上,脑子里乱乱的,爸爸照例打开台灯开始工作,爸爸是个勤奋的人,他自称是被爷爷打的,他说曾经逃课被爷爷打得五天不克挨凳子,还半开玩笑地对甜甜说:?还没这么打过你呢。?或许,爸爸也想用方法让天生淘气的甜甜不再懒惰。
厨房里,妈妈正在做饭,并在偷偷地拭着眼泪。?打在儿身,痛在娘心?,每次甜甜挨打,妈妈都难过得要命,但她尽不会阻拦,要作父亲的威严。点,甜甜的爸爸很谢谢。
每次打过甜甜之后,晚上两人亲昵时,他都要软语温存地慰藉老婆一番:?我这么为她好,你看你把她惯的,要是不管,变坏了怎么办,还指着她前程呢! 别难过了,下次轻点打还不可啊?妈妈照例转悲为喜,实在原理她何尝又不懂。
时钟已过往小时了,妈妈走对在爸爸耳边小声说:?饭快好了,也差未几了,叫她起来吧。?转身出往了。爸爸才放下了手中的工作,转过身,问低头跪在搓衣板上的甜甜:?怎么样,想清楚了错在哪里? 该不该挨打?这是每次结束处罚时,爸爸必问的几个题目,他要让甜甜心服口服。
这时甜甜已不再哭泣,她明白此时尽对的遵从,才华早些站起身,结束这痛苦的处罚。?想清楚了。暑假不该贪玩不造作业,不该撒谎,、骗您说做完了作业。该挨打。?那好,先起来,吃完了饭,写个包管,马上高三了,再这么稀里糊涂地下往,有你好看。?甜甜终于获了?特赫令?,她艰难地站起来,揉揉膝盖,又揉揉屁股,乘爸爸先出往的间隙,她偷偷撩开内裤看了看的屁股,吓了一跳,红肿了半指高,渗着血点,打得真狠哪! 可她不敢吱声,静静地来到饭桌前,是大夏天,爸爸却在她的凳子上放了软软的海绵垫,好让她坐下。
这份温存让甜甜不像适才挨打罚跪时那样怨恨爸爸了。用饭时,爸爸还不住地给甜甜夹菜,的菜全甜甜最爱吃的,这不挨打时很难的报酬。用饭的时候,气氛有些凝重,究竟适才产生了不愉快的事情,大家都只顾夹菜、用饭,而不说话。好轻易一顿饭吃完,甜甜自觉地来到房间,写包管。实在东西以前也都包管过,无非是专心学习,端正学习不贪玩、一心应对高考,要上个好大学等等。
写完,甜甜来到爸爸的书房,将包管交给爸爸审阅。爸爸看后还算却要甜甜加上一条:?我包管几点,如有违反,由爸爸任意处罚。?爸爸并让甜甜一式两份,一份贴在甜甜床头的家法旁,一份贴在甜甜挨打的沙发旁。甜甜乖乖地照做了。
过了两天,便开学了,那顿打让甜甜变得循规蹈矩了天天定时上下学、做作业,成绩也的上进。甜甜本就天资聪颖,一不学习,成绩会一下子?失到班里二十名以后,可一用功,是前五名。
看来真的是棍棒底下出秀才啊!
