Bác sĩ phải đeo khẩu trang

One lovely day, a young man invited his girlfriend for a bicycle ride. Under the clear moonlight, with a cool breeze and romantic scenery, she sat shyly behind him.

As they went downhill, the bicycle picked up speed. An inviting ice-cream shop appeared ahead. Suddenly he slammed on the brakes and stopped with a screech right outside it.

Turning to her, he asked, "Fancy a bite?"

"Yes, please," she answered coyly.

He immediately pedaled off again. "These new brakes really bite, don't they? I've just replaced them!"

After more than an hour of struggling, they finally reached the middle of the bridge. The rear rider gasped, "I've been pedaling my bloody legs off just to get us up here!"

"You think I've had it easy steering? My hands are bloody exhausted from squeezing the brakes!"
