654　No woman can get ready in ten minutes 没有女人能在十分钟就准备好的

Mike came into the office an hour late for the third time in a week. “What's the story this time, Mike?” his boss asked sarcastically. “Let's hear a good excuse for a change.” Mike sighed, “Everything went wrong this morning, boss. My wife decided to drive me to the station. She got ready in ten minutes, but then the drawbridge got stuck. I swam across the river—see, my suit's still damp—ran out to the airport, got a ride on helicopter, landed on top of City Music Hall.” “You'll have to do better than that, Mike,” said the boss. “No woman can get ready in ten minutes!”

麦克在一星期之内已经第三次迟到一小时。他的上司嘲弄他说：“麦克，这一次是什么故事啊？能不能找一个新的借口让我们换换口味？”麦克叹了一口气说：“头儿，今天早上什么都不顺。太太决定送我去车站，她十分钟就准备好了。可是，活动吊桥卡住了。我游泳过了河。你瞧，我衣服还湿着呢。我跑步到飞机场，搭上直升机，停在市音乐厅的顶上。”上司说：“麦克，你该编得好一点。哪有女人能在十分钟就准备好的？”
