Chinese jokes
Here are a couple of jokes that I heard today:
Student: Why is the number “e” sideways? Me: I have no idea. Student: Because it’s never in cash and always in debt. Student: Why is blue jeans the saddest clotheses? Me: I don’t know. Student: Because it is blue.
I think the girl meant, "Why is the letter "e" sad?" (At least that's how I interpreted the joke.) And the answer is that it's broke (never in cash, or never has cash) and is always in debt.
During the entire conversation, I had to work hard to keep my face from looking confused!
Could you please explain the "e" joke?
