English Original
A pair of honeymooners checked into the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. That night, as the husband was about to turn off the light, his bride asked, "Do you think this room is bugged?"
"That was a long time ago, sweetheart," he reassured her.
"But what if there's a microphone somewhere? I'd be so embarrassed."
So the groom searched under the tables and behind the pictures. Then he turned back the rug. Sure enough, there was a funny-looking gizmo in the floor. He took out the screws, got rid of the hardware, and climbed into bed.
The next morning the newly weds were awakened by a hotel clerk who wanted to know if they had slept well. "We did," replied the groom. "Why do you ask?"
"It's rather unusual," the clerk answered. "Last night the couple in the room below yours had a chandelier fall on them."

一对新婚夫妇入住华盛顿特区的水门旅馆。当晚，丈夫正要关灯时，新娘问道：“你觉得这房间被窃听了吗？”
“亲爱的，那都是很久以前的事了，”他安慰道。
“但万一哪儿藏着麦克风呢？那多难为情啊。”
于是，新郎搜查了桌子底下和画框后面。接着，他掀开了地毯。果然，地板上有个样子古怪的小装置。他拧下螺丝，拆掉那个硬件，然后上床睡觉了。
第二天早上，这对新人被一名旅馆职员叫醒，对方询问他们是否睡得好。“睡得挺好，”新郎回答，“为什么这么问？”
“这太不寻常了，”职员答道，“昨晚你们楼下房间的夫妇被一盏枝形吊灯砸中了。”
