錢的笑話：1、 Mistake 失誤

1. Mistake

A boss decided to have a sudden check about his factory. When he came to the storehouse1, he saw a young man leisurely2 leaning against one package doing nothing.

How much is your week pay? The boss asked angrily.

$100. was the young man's answer.

The boss took out his wallet, counted five 20s, "Here is your pay of one week," he shouted, "Now get out of here and never come back!"

The young man took the money and went away quickly. The manager of the storehouse watched all this surprisingly.

And now you tell me, the boss inquired, "How long did that guy work here?"

He did not work here. The manager replied.

Notes:

1. storehouse 倉庫

2. leisurely 悠閑地

“你一個(gè)星期的薪水是多少？”老板氣哼哼地問道。

“100元?！蹦贻p人回答說。

這個(gè)年輕人把錢塞進(jìn)口袋急忙走開了。一直站在旁邊的庫房經(jīng)理驚訝地看著這一切。

“現(xiàn)在告訴我”，老板說道，“這家伙在這兒干了多久了？”
