An older lady gets undressed and starts to get into the bathtub. She gets about halfway into the tub and thinks, "Was I getting into the tub or getting out?”

　　She calls out, "Bernice! Was I getting into the bathtub or getting out?"

　　Bernice says, "Well I don’t know. I' 11 have to come up and look.” Bernice starts walking up the stairs to the bathroom, gets halfway up and thinks to herself, “Was I going up the stairs or down? " She calls out "Sally! Was I going up or down the stairs?”

　　Sally, who is just being with Bernice down in the living room calls back,“How should I know?” and thinks to herself, “I' m glad I’m not losing my mind like the other people in this house.”

　　一個上了年紀的女人脫了衣服準備去洗澡。她剛把一只腳邁進浴缸就想:我是打算進去呢?還是正要出去?

　　她大聲喊:“伯尼斯!我這是正要去洗澡還是打算要出來呢?”

　　伯尼斯說:“我不知道，我這就上去看看。”伯尼斯開始往樓上的浴室走，走到一半時想到:我這是要上樓呢還是下樓?她大喊:“莎莉!我這是要上樓呢還是要下樓呢?”

　　剛還和伯尼斯在樓下客廳里的莎莉喊:“我怎么知道?”她自己想:我真的很高興我不像這個屋子里的其它人一樣沒記性。
