“OK everyone,” said the the instructor at the birthing class trying to get everyone’s attention. “We are going to do an exercise now, its purpose is to help the men sympathize with their partners.”
“We have here what’s called a pregnancy suit,” said the woman instructor, holding up an artificial stomach with a strap. “This imitates the feeling of being pregnant.”
"Which husband volunteers to be the first one to try it on?”
“I will” said one man, taking the suit and trying it on. “This isn’t too bad," said the man walking around. "I think I could get used to this.”
“OK,” said the instructor smiling, “now I would like you to bend down and pick up my pen from the floor.”
“You want me to pick it up?” he said hesitantly, “just as I would if I was pregnant?”
“Yes!” said the instructor.
“Honey,” said the man turning to his wife “do you mind picking up that pen for me?”

Remember that "annoy" is a false cognate/

A blind guy on a bar stool shouts to the bartender, "Wanna hear a blonde joke?"
In a hushed voice, the guy next to him says, “Before you tell that joke, you should know something. Our bartender is blonde, the bouncer is blonde. I’m a six foot tall, 200 lb black belt. The guy sitting next to me is six foot two, weighs 225, and he’s a rugby player. The fella to your right is six foot five, pushing 300, and he’s a wrestler. Each one of us is blonde. Think about it, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke?"
The blind guy says, “Nah, not if I’m gonna have to explain it five times."

the word i didn't know is bouncer
It is in slang the big fat guy standing in front of the doorway of stripclubs and keeping everyone out if they are not on the "list.
The reason is not always what we expect ! Very Happy

Not only stripclubs Muriel: any club and even bars according to the words.

The meaning is not surprising as the guy makes people go back such as a basket ball bouncing on the ground.

You're welcome Muriel.
The French word "videur" may sound weird as well but is clear if we think of the French verb "vider".
"Bouncer" makes me imagine a guy at the door, "videur" rather makes me think of a guy inside the club getting rid of people causing trouble.
