It was during basic training, the sergeant asked me what I did in civilian life, I proudly announced that I was a geologist. “Good. I'm looking for someone with your background,” he said, while dropping a bulging sack onto the table. “You've got just the right qualifications to pick the rocks out of this hundred pounds of beans.”
還是在基本訓(xùn)練階段,軍士長問我入伍以前是干什么的。我自豪地回答,我是一個地質(zhì)學(xué)家。他一邊往桌子上放一個鼓鼓囊囊的大麻袋,一邊說:“好,我正在找一個有你這樣背景的人。你正好有資格把這一百磅豆子里的石頭挑出來。”
