FAQs:
Q1: Why is the student's answer "quarrels" when the teacher asks about cutting a beef steak? A1: It's a play on words. The teacher is talking about physically cutting the steak, but the student interprets it as the teacher always finding faults or making trouble out of nothing, which is expressed humorously as "making a beef out of nothing". Here, "beef" not only refers to the actual meat but also means making unnecessary issues or problems, and "quarrels" implies that such behavior would lead to arguments or conflicts.
Q2: What's the humor in the story about the man ordering three drinks in the bar? A2: The humor lies in the unexpected twist. At first, it seems like the man is just waiting for a friend to come and have a drink together. But as it turns out, he is actually sharing a drink with his deceased best friend at a graveyard. The contrast between the normal assumption and the surprising truth creates a sense of irony and humor.
