If I could swim (daily joke 180211)

Daily joke and the culture behind Narrator – Dave 中国英语世界第一人   Sunday, February 11th, 2018   If I could swim   One bright sunny day, a beautiful blonde girl was cruising the countryside in her new, shiny red sports car. Suddenly, she jammed on the brakes, and she brought the car to a sideways, screeching halt.   She quickly jumped out of the car, and ran up the road a little way, to where she began fuming in anger. For there, about 40 feet in front of her, in the middle of the road, were two other beautiful young blondes, sitting in a rowboat. One was on the middle seat, straining her arms and pulling for all she was worth on a set of oars, while the other was in the bow of the boat shouting through a megaphone, "Stroke! Stroke!"   So infuriated was the first blonde at these two and their foolishness, that she began pacing back forth on the pavement, throwing gravel and dirt at them from her place on the road, and she screamed at the top of her lungs, "You two are so stupid, and if I could swim, I'd come out there and kick both your behinds!!"   Topic for Today   180211   Did you use to…?   1.      Did you use to do what those two blondes on the bowboat do when you were stupider?   2.      What Chinese idiom does this joke remind you of?
