一砍頭，就更矮了

By Jiang Xun 又有一回讀古典笑話，說城裡來了土匪，見人就殺，有個矮子也被一把抓住，要砍頭。，「你別砍了吧，」矮子求土匪，

「大家都笑我矮，這一砍頭，就更矮了。」土匪全笑彎了腰，居然把矮子放了。 幽默居然可以救命，實在令人驚訝。
Once I read the classic joke, saying the bandits came to the city, bandits killed anyone in their sight, there is also a dwarf caught to be beheaded , "do not cut it," dwarf begged the bandits,

"Everyone laughed at me being a shorty, the beheading would make it even shorter." Bandits all doubled up laughing, released the dwarf unexpectedly. Humor can actually save lives, it is really surprising.

This remind me things happened recently.
