Wink and the Aspirin | 眨眼与阿司匹林

点击查看中英对照

A man with a winking problem applies for a sales representative position at a large firm. The interviewer reviews his credentials and says, "Your qualifications are phenomenal. We'd normally hire you without hesitation. However, as a sales representative, your constant winking might scare off potential customers. I'm sorry, but we can't hire you."

"But wait," the man says. "If I take two aspirin, I'll stop winking!"

"Really? Show me!"

The applicant reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out an assortment of condoms: red, blue, ribbed, flavored. Finally, at the bottom, he finds a packet of aspirin. He tears it open, swallows the pills, and stops winking.

"Well," says the interviewer, "that's fine, but this is a respectable company. We won't have our employees womanizing all over the country!"

"Womanizing? I'm happily married!"

"Then how do you explain all these condoms?"

"Oh, that," he sighs. "Have you ever walked into a pharmacy, winking, and asked for aspirin?"
