A woman goes into the local newspaper office to see
that the obituary for her recently deceased husband is
written. The obit. editor informs her that the fee for the
obituary is 50 cents a word. She pauses, reflects and
then says, Well then, let it read "Fred Brown died."
Amused at the woman's thrift , the editor tells her
that there is a 7 word minimum for all obituaries. Only a
little flustered, she thinks thing over and in a few seconds
says, In that case, let it read, "Fred Brown died: 1983 Pickup
for sale."
Key words:
obituary (n.)訃聞
deceased (adj.)已故的
reflect (v.)仔細想
thrift (n.)節約:節儉
pickup (n.)小貨車
