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!"
這個月什么都沒有
在一個酒吧里,約翰看到他的一個朋友坐在吧臺邊獨自喝酒。
他走到朋友身邊,問道:“你看上去狀態不太好,怎么了?出什么事了嗎?”
“我媽媽8月份去世了。”朋友答道,“留給我2.5萬美元。”
“啊?是嗎?這真是太糟了。”約翰說道。
“然后,9月份,”朋友繼續說,“我爸爸也去世了,留給我9萬美元。”
“哎呀,兩個月之內你失去了兩個親人,你一定很傷心難過吧?”
“然后,上個月,我的姨媽也去世了,留給我1.5萬美元。”
“3個月之內你失去了3個親友?多讓人傷心啊!”
“然而,這個月,”朋友繼續答道,“什么都沒有!”
