笑話原文】

Want A New Car Real Bad

Snow was falling heavily the day I decided to visit a car dealership. I was confident I’d get a great deal, figuring the salesmen would be desperate for customers on such a lousy day. Sure enough, when I entered the showroom, I was the only client. But my hope of getting a good deal quickly faded with the salesman’s first words. “Boy,” he said jovially, “you must want a new car real bad to come out on a day like this.”
