Stunning Reply 出色的回答
My five-year-old son was not picking up his toys while I was preparing dinner as I had asked him. When I inquired why he wasn’t doing his chores, he said that he didn’t feel like it. Exasperated, I said, “Where would you be right now if I didn’t feel like making dinner.”
He thought for a moment and then replied, “ A restaurant.”
我在准备晚饭的时候,我叫年仅五岁的儿子把玩具都收拾起来。当我问他为什么没做他的差事时,他说他不想做。我感到有些恼火,就对他说:“要是我说我不想做晚饭,这时你会在哪里呢?”
他略加思索便回答说:“在饭店里。”
Speech Impedient 说话障碍
Over drinks one afternoon a buddy of mine and I were discussing former “loves”. I told him that I once a girl long ago because she had a seemingly incurable speech impediment. John said, “Anthony, I’m shocked. I never know you to be one to be prejudiced against handicaps. What was the girl’s problem?”
Taking a sip, I paused and reflected. “She couldn’t say ‘yes’.”
一天下午喝多了酒,我的一个朋友和我正在讨论以前的“恋爱”。我告诉他我很久以前曾经和一个女孩分手,因为她有看上去不能医治的说话障碍。约翰说,“安东尼,我感到吃惊。我一点也不知道你是一个对障碍怀有偏见的。女孩到底怎么了?”
吸了一口气,我暂停一下说: “她总是不说‘yes’ ”。

The Job Interview工作面试
A guy walks into the human resources department of a large company and hands the executive his application. The executive begins to scan the sheet, and notices that the applicant has been fired from every job he has ever held.
“I must say,”says the executive,“your work history is terrible.You’ve been fired from every job.”“Yes,”says the man.“Well,”continues the executive,“there is not much positive in that.”
“Hey!”says the guy as he pokes the application.“At least I’m not a quitter.”

“嘿!”那人指着申请表说,“至少我不是个逃兵。”
