美國流行笑話：Who should change? 該誰換？

46　Who should change? 該誰換？

A collecting service company recently launched an 800 number that was identical to mine. Since then I was getting swamped with wrong calls. When I called to the complain, they told me to get a new number. “I've had mine for twenty years,” I pleaded. “Couldn't you change yours?” They refused. So I said, “Fine. From now on I'm going to tell everyone who calls that their bill is paid in full.” The company got a new number the next day.

一家討債公司最近啟用一個800免費電話。它的號碼和我的相同。從那以后我天天被錯號電話搞得不勝其擾。我打電話去交涉的時候，他們讓我換號碼。我說：“我用這個號碼已經20年了。能不能請你們換號碼？”他們竟然拒絕了。我說：“那好，從今以后我會告訴每一個打電話給我的人，他們的賬單已經付清了。”那家公司第二天就換了號碼。
