成寒部落格

　　I was sitting in the waiting room of the hospital 

　　　　　  

after my wife had gone into  labor  when the nurse 

walked out and said to a man sitting there, "Congratulations, 

sir, you're the new father of twins!" 

　　The man replied,   "How about that!  I work for the 
Minnesota Twins  baseball team." 

　　About an hour later, the same nurse entered the 

waiting room and announced that Mrs. Smith had just 

had triplets. 

　　Mr. Smith stood up and said, "Well, how do you like

 that, I work for 3M!" 

　　When the nurse appeared next, she told the third 

man that his wife had given birth to quadruplets. 

　　"That's amazing! I work for the Four Seasons Hotel!" 

　　At this point the gentleman sitting next to me let out 

a little strangled gasp  and  hurriedly got  up,  obviously  

distraught.   When I asked him if he was okay, he explained,   

"I think I need a breath of fresh air." The man continued,   

"I'm  the casting director  for  101 Dalmatians."
