I stopped at my favorite watering hole after a hard day's work to relax. I noticed a man next to me order a shot and a beer. The man drank the shot, chased it with the beer and then looked into his shirt pocket. This continued several times before my curiosity got the best of me. I leaned over to the guy and said, “Excuse me, I couldn't help but notice your little ritual. Why in the world do you look into your shirt pocket every time you drink your shot and beer?” The man replied, “There's a picture of my wife in there, and when she starts looking good, I'm heading home!”
忙了一天,我在我所喜歡的夜總會里輕松一下。我注意到我旁邊的男子要了一瓶烈酒和一瓶啤酒。他喝一口烈酒,緊接著又喝一口啤酒,然后往他的襯衣口袋里看一下。他這樣反復好幾次以后,我實在忍不住,湊到他面前問他:“不好意思打攪一下。我實在忍不住注意你的習慣。你究竟為什么每次喝一口烈酒,緊接著喝一口啤酒,然后又往襯衣口袋里看一下?”那個男子回答說:“那里有我老婆的一張照片。當她開始變得好看的時候,我就該回家了。”
