CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #193

Show of hands, during the climactic, face-scrunching moment of the sex act, how many of you out there sometimes find yourself thinking, "Gee, I must look pretty silly right about now"? C'mon, be honest... Okay, I understand. This is a little too intimate for a public conversation. How about if we do it this way: If you're alone right now, just nod. If you're reading this with your sexual partner, simply look at them, smile sheepishly, then, when they smile back, suddenly twist your face into your freakiest orgasm position. If they laugh, know you're in good company. Give them a hug, hit the play button on your DVR and watch Two and a Half Men. If they don't laugh, hit the play button on your DVR, watch Two and a Half Men, then go out and find a new partner.

如果你現在只是一個人，點頭就可以，如果你正在跟你的性伴侶閱讀這篇一頁書，就這麼看著對方，靦腆地笑，然後，如果對方也對你笑，你忽然把臉扭成性高潮時最古怪的樣子

If they laugh, know you're in good company(同病相憐). Give them a hug, hit the play button on your DVR and watch Two and a Half Men.

如果對方笑，表示對方知道你倆是同病相憐，抱對方一下，按機上盒Play鍵，一起看男人兩個半

如果對方不笑，你也按機上盒的Play鍵，讓對方自己看男人兩個半，然後你出去找新的伴侶

【看圖說故事】

【故事提要】

Penny's promiscuous(淫亂的) friend Christy from Nebraska arrives in town, and ends up sleeping with Howard almost instantly, who is dragged to(拖油瓶) her. The pair take over(接收) Penny's apartment, causing Penny to sleep on Leonard and Sheldon's couch for the night(過一晚). With Howard gone, Penny takes his place(取代某人) playing Halo 3 and ends up being naturally good at it, annoying Sheldon. Furthermore, Howard invites Christy to move in with(同居) him (and his mother), taking up(佔去) all his time.

Distraught over(為…心煩意亂) the odd number(奇數) in the group, Sheldon invites Penny again to play Halo, but she declines to go dancing(為了去跳舞婉拒). Believing that they are falling apart as a group(群眾瓦解), the guys go to speak to Howard. When they arrive, they hear Christy and Howard's mother arguing loudly, causing Christy to leave. Howard, once again single, goes with the guys to play Halo and the group is restored(還原) yet again.
