A friend of an officer asked him for some military secret.He didn't want to embarrass the other party by sternly refusing, and he couldn't abolish public affairs for personal reasons.So he pretended to be mysterious and asked: "Can you keep a secret?" "Yes!" The other party replied. "Well, I can too," said the officer.

The officer just imitated the way and tone of the other party's answer, thus getting rid of the embarrassment, not only keeping military secrets, but also maintaining the relationship between friends.

When using imitation language, you can also directly borrow from the original text.

The tour guide borrowed a complete poem, but the artistic conception it expresses is completely different. It contains the tour guide's helplessness for "the favorable terrain is occupied", so the tourists are less disappointed by her humorous attitude.

I wonder if it is true or not?"

After hearing this, Dongfang Shuo knew that the emperor was dreaming of immortality again, so a sneering smile appeared on his face.Seeing that Dongfang Shuo seemed to be mocking, the emperor shouted, "How dare you laugh at me?"

Dongfang Shuo replied respectfully: "How dare I laugh at the emperor? I'm laughing at how ugly Peng Zu's face is."

Emperor Wu of Han asked, "Why are you laughing at Peng Zu?"

Dongfang Shuo said: "It is said that Peng Zu lived to be [-] years old. If it is true that the emperor said that the "human middle" is one inch long, Peng Zu's "human middle" should be eight inches long. Then, how is his face? Isn't it too ugly?"

Gary is a very humorous police officer. No matter what major case he encounters, he can always laugh it off and solve the problem easily.

Take one afternoon for example!There was a dispute between three ladies over a trivial matter, and the three came to the police station in a row, and the roof of the police station was almost torn off by your words and my words.As soon as the woman's chatterbox was opened, even the chief didn't have a chance to intervene.At this time, Gary said a word lightly: "The oldest one among you, please speak first!" Just after he finished speaking, the room was suddenly silent.

Gary's ingenuity is not only here, he also used humor to successfully save a man who tried to jump off a building.The situation was very urgent at that time. The man was standing on the windowsill of a 52-story building, and he might jump down at any time.Downstairs was crowded with onlookers, police, doctors and reporters all present.As usual, the man who wanted to commit suicide yelled sternly: "Don't come! Anyone who wants to take a step closer, I will jump off!"

At this time, Gary brought a doctor forward, he only said a word, and the man came downstairs silently.Gary said, "I'm not here to persuade you. This doctor asked me to ask you: Would you like to donate your body to the hospital after you die?"

Gary's sense of humor enables him to find the key to solving cases in the most subtle things.When he was on duty, Gary easily caught a wanted criminal who was disguised as a woman. The sheriff asked him: "The criminal's disguise is so perfect, how did you find out that he is a man?"

"Because he doesn't have the habits of women." Gary replied with a smile, "I saw 'she' passed by clothing stores, food stores and beauty salons, without even looking at her, I knew that this person was definitely not normal. woman."

Another time, Gary accidentally saw two young priests speeding along a small road on a bicycle. How could a priest disobey the traffic rules?Gary hurriedly got off the car to stop them, and asked, "Don't you think it's dangerous to ride like this?"

The priests said confidently, "It doesn't matter, God is with us."

After hearing this, Gary smiled and said, "In this case, instead of issuing you a ticket for speeding, I should fine you 80 dollars, because the law stipulates that three people cannot ride a bicycle together."

In addition, humor makes people calm, and calm makes people full of wit.

A jester made a mistake, and the emperor ordered someone to push him down the pool in the imperial garden, and then pulled him up gleefully and asked, "How is it? Did you see Qu Yuan in the water? Push you down again!"

"I have seen Qu Yuan!" the Fool replied solemnly.

The emperor laughed and continued to ask: "Did Qu Yuan tell you anything?"

"What did you say?" the fool said respectfully, "Master Qu said he didn't meet a good master, so he threw himself into the water. I have such a wise master, why did I throw myself into the water?"

Flattering and begging for mercy, the emperor was overjoyed and immediately spared the jester.

A bald man, when someone called him "no money for a haircut, no soup for washing your hair", he changed his face on the spot, which made the originally relatively relaxed atmosphere tense.A professor who gave a lecture was also bald. When he introduced himself, he said: "A friend said that I was very smart, and I replied with a smile: 'You underestimate me, I am already very smart.'" Then he pointed out that Pointing to his head, he said, "The topic of my speech today is 'Appearance is the reflection of spiritual beauty'."
