上午10點(diǎn),coffee break. 由于早上沒吃早飯,肚子有點(diǎn)餓。來到lunch room, 便想從 售貨機(jī)里買包 peanut butter cracker (0.5美元)充饑。掏出錢包一看,錢包里只有一個quarter (老婆真夠可以的),心想,這下慘了, 又不能刷卡。
看到同一辦公室的老美同事Stephen (65歲左右)正坐在那里喝咖啡,于是便沖他喊道 :“Stephen, do you have a dollar?”
Stephen: I have three.
Me: One is enough.
Stephen: Too late.
Me : ??? (Too late? 他花了?還是他不愿意借?老美真夠小氣的,一塊錢都不愿意借)。
沒辦法,只好又到另一個辦公室找一中國人借了一塊錢。
回到售貨機(jī)旁,剛想把錢塞進(jìn)去,Stephen 走了過來:“Oh, I thought you were asking for my daughter”.
