Mr. Henry Beecher entered Plymouth Church one Sunday and found several letters awaiting him. He opened one and found it contained the single word ″Fool″. Quietly and with becoming seriousness he announced to the congregation the fact in these words:
″I have known many an instance(實(shí)例) of a man writing a letter and forgetting to sign his name, but this is the only instance I have ever known of a man signing his name and forgetting to write the letter.″
一個(gè)星期天,亨利·比切先生到普利茅斯的教堂去,在那里有他的幾封信。他打開其中一封,發(fā)現(xiàn)信中只寫著“傻瓜”兩個(gè)字。
他平靜而認(rèn)真地把這件事告訴教友們：“寫信時(shí)忘了簽名的人,我遇到過(guò)很多,但只簽了名卻忘了寫信的人,我還是頭一次遇到�！�

顧客：服務(wù)員，我這個(gè)牡蠣燉菜里怎么沒(méi)有牡蠣?
