美國流行笑話：The Perplexed Clerk 困惑的店員

120　The Perplexed Clerk 困惑的店員

Heavily laden with groceries, my wife asked a young clerk at the grocery store to accompany her to her car. Arriving there, she opened the doors and, without thinking, sat down in the back seat to check off her list of errands. A moment later the perplexed clerk walked around the car to my wife. “Lady,” he said firmly. “I don't mind helping you load your groceries, but I really got to draw the line at driving you home.”

我太太買了一大堆雜貨，就請雜貨鋪的年輕店員幫她把東西送到她車上。到了那里，她打開車門，便不假思索地坐到后排座位上，查看她的辦事清單。過了一會兒，那個困惑的店員從車后面繞過來，語氣堅定地對我太太說：“我很樂意幫你裝車，但是我實在是不能把你送回家。”
