English Original
What's wrong with your horse?
After his beloved horse died, a man wanted to place an ad in the newspaper like this: "Horse saddle and bridle for $50."
Inadvertently, the paper added a comma to the ad, which then read: "Horse, saddle and bridle for $50."
Immediately, someone responded. "That's an awfully cheap price for a horse," said the caller. "What's wrong with your horse?"
"Well, he is dead," replied the man who placed the erroneously typed ad.

你的马有什么毛病吗？
一个人心爱的马死后，他打算在报纸上登一则广告，内容如下：“50美元出售马鞍和马笼头。”
无意中，报社在广告中加了一个逗号，广告于是变成了：“50美元出售马、马鞍和马笼头。”
立刻就有人回应了这则广告。“这匹马的价格真是便宜得离谱，”来电者说，“你的马有什么毛病吗？”
“嗯，它死了，”那位刊登了这则排版错误的广告的人回答道。
