终身保修

After burying his mother nine months earlier, a client of the local mortuary finally had enough money to purchase the expensive coffin he‘d originally wanted。 So we exhumed the body and transferred his deceased mother into the new steel casket。 “What’s so special about this coffin?” I asked the funeral director。 He replied, “It has a lifetime warranty。”

在将母亲下葬9个月后,当地殡仪馆的一个客户终于攒够了钱去买那副他早就相中的价值不菲的棺材了。他把母亲的棺材挖了出来,将尸体转移到了那副新的钢制棺材中。“这副棺材有什么特别?”,我问葬礼的承办人。他回答说,“这种棺材终生保修。

有人偷了我的钱包

我们的餐厅经理是一位深受大家爱戴,和蔼而又快乐的人。但在他面前有一件事不能提--他的身高。或者,我应该说,他是有点矮!一天,经理怒气冲冲地撞门而入,高声说,

“有人拿了我的钱包!”

我和其她大部女招待都没敢吱声,但有人却蹦出一句话:

“哪有人能弯腰弯那么低的啊”!
