Bad Toilet Paper
質量差的衛生紙
He needed to blow his nose. He pulled four sheets off the roll of toilet paper. What's this, he wondered. The first two sheets were 2-ply. The next two sheets were mostly 1-ply. He pulled six more sheets off the roll. The first four sheets were mostly 1-ply. The last two sheets were 2-ply. How do they make toilet paper wrong, he wondered. Maybe the whole roll was no good. Maybe all the rolls were no good. He blew his nose. His wife came home. She went into the bathroom. She came out of the bathroom. She was holding about ten sheets. Some were 2-ply. Some were mostly 1-ply. "What's this?" she said. "I don't know," he said. "Sometimes they make mistakes." "I've used toilet paper my whole life," she said. "I've never seen this problem before. Was this on sale? Did you get a good deal on it?"
他需要醒鼻子。他拽了4張衛生紙。他疑惑道，這是什么。前兩張紙有兩層。后兩張紙最多有一層。他又拿了四張紙。前四張紙也大部分為一層。后兩張為兩層。他想，他們怎么會把衛生紙搞錯了。或許，整卷手紙都不好。或許所有的手紙都不好。他醒了鼻子。他的妻子回家了。她進入了衛生間。她從衛生間出來。她手里拿著10張紙。許多是兩層。但是絕大部分為一層。她問到，這是什么？他回答說，不知道。她說“他們有時也犯錯。”“我用了一輩子手紙。還沒有見過這樣的問題發生。這樣的手紙還在賣嗎？你是不是買的廉價貨？”
