Advice for “kid”
A bit of advice for those about to retire. If you are only 65 , never move to a retirement community. Everybody else is in their 70s, 80s,or 90s. so when something has to be moved ,lifted or loaded , they yell, “get the kid.”
忠告“年轻者”
这里想对将要退休者提一点忠告。如果你只有65岁的话,千万别进退休社区。因为那里人人都七八十岁或者八九十岁了。每当要搬东西、抬东西或者装东西时,他们就叫喊“让小的干吧。”

When the CEO returned from the big event, he was furious. “who told you to write an-hour-long speech?” he demanded. “john was baffled . “I wrote a 20-minute speech,” he replied, “and I gave you the two extra copies you asked for.”
额外的复印稿
总裁要按计划在一个重要的会议上发表演讲,所以他要求他的一个雇员约翰为他写一个简洁的,大约长20分钟左右的演讲稿。当总裁从这个重大的会议中回来是非常生气。“谁让你写一份长一个小时的讲稿?”他问,“一半的听众在我讲完之前就离开了。”约翰很疑惑。“我些了一份20分钟的讲稿,”他答道,“然后我给你了你要的两份讲稿的复印件。”
