412　Imaginary Basketball 想像中的篮球

I served with a guy who did a strange thing: He played an imaginary basketball wherever he went. Eventually, a psychiatrist labeled him unfit for duty, which led to a medical discharge. After the proceedings, he addressed the officer in charge. “Sir, may I approach?” With permission granted, he went through the motion of putting something on the officer's desk. “What is this?” asked the officer. “My basketball. I don't need it anymore.”

和我在一起服役的一个人做了一件稀奇古怪的事情：他不论到哪里，都打着他那个想像中的篮球。最后，精神科医生诊断他不适合服役，就让他复员回家。办完手续以后，他对管事的军官说：“长官，我能靠近吗？”得到允许之后，他做了一个好像把什么东西放在军官桌子上面的动作。军官问：“这是什么？”“我的篮球。我不再需要它了。”
