Corny joke, but I learned "小朋友" means kids, so that's a big win. :)

Am I correct that there's some ambiguity in "打呼噜" between "snore" and "purr"? My dictionaries were a little unclear on that point.

谢谢你笑话。这些笑话比较冷,但是我喜欢看它们。很有助练习读中文。

炕是中国北方冬天睡的床~睡在上面很暖和,炕头就是床头的意思

Here is a military joke I found in the Chinese magazine 《故事会》 several years ago. I love this joke very much.

一辆军用卡车陷入泥潭,幸亏后面来了一辆吉普车,车上跳下几名军官,他们费了九牛二虎之力才把卡车推出泥潭。

“天哪!”其中一位军官气喘嘘嘘地说,“你的车够沉的,车子里是些什么东西?” “28名新兵。”司机回答。

@texinchina, 炕头 is a heatable brick bed. You can only find this kind of bed in countryside! I still remember I have spent several nights with this bed, but I was not feeling so good!
