Absolutely Nothing This Month
John sees a friend at a table in a bar, drinking by himself.
Approaching the friend he comments, "You look terrible. What's the problem?"
"My mother died in August," he said, "and left me $25,000."
"Gee, that's tough," John replied.
"Then in September," the friend continued, "My father died, leaving me $90,000."
"Wow. Two parents gone in two months. No wonder you're depressed."
"And last month my aunt died, and left me $15,000."
"Three close family members lost in three months? How sad."
"Then this month," continued, the friend, "absolutely nothing!"

“???是嗎?這真是太糟了?!奔s翰說道。
“然后,9月份,”朋友繼續(xù)說,“我爸爸也去世了,留給我9萬美元。”

“然而,這個(gè)月,”朋友繼續(xù)答道,“什么都沒有!”
