W: OK, then what should I do? M: For the friends, you want to get them personal gift. Do they like chocolate? W: This is what I always give, but I know Mary is on a diet. M: Does she like fruit or coffee? Anyway, think of the gift that you know your friend likes. W: Well, I think fruit is helpful to keep fit. What about the rest of them? M: Leave cards in their mailboxes or on their desks. W: Christmas cards? M: Yes, you can afford that. More importantly, it's true of them that you're thinking of them.

Q: Man: Yes, I'd like to report a theft. Police Officer: Okay. Can you tell me exactly what happened. Man: Well, I was walking home from work two days ago, enjoying the nature all around me ... the birds, the frogs, the flowing stream ... [Okay, Okay] when this woman knocked me right off my feet, grabbed my stuff, and ran off through the trees. [Hmm]. I was so surprised by the ordeal that I didn't go after her. Police Officer: Yeah. Can you describe the woman for me? Man: Yeah. He was about a hundred and ninety centimeters tall ... Police Officer: Wait. You said a woman robbed you. Man: Well, I'm not really sure. [Hmm]. You see, the person was wearing a white and black polka dot dress, a light red sweater over it, and she ... or he ... was wearing a pair of basketball shoes. Police Officer: Humm. What else can you tell me? Man: Okay. Like I said, the person was about 190 centimeters tall, heavy build, with long wavy hair. She ... or he ... was probably in his or her late 30's. I didn't get a good look at the person's face, but well ... uh .... Police Officer: What? Was there something else? Man: Well, the person ... had a beard. Police Officer: Ah! What was, uh, taken ... exactly? Man: Well, just my left shoe. Bizarre, isn't it? Police Officer: Ah. The "bearded woman" has struck again! Man: The "bearded woman"? Police Officer: Yeah. It's this man who dresses up like a woman and, for some unknown reason, removes the left shoe from his victims. He's really quite harmless, though, and he usually returns the shoe to the crime scene a couple of days later.
