Looking for a Cashier | 寻找出纳员

English Original

At a dinner party, a friend said to a banker, "I heard your bank is looking for a cashier."

The banker replied, "Yes, we are."

The friend then said, "But I thought you just hired one a few weeks ago."

"We did," the banker confirmed. "That's the one we're looking for now."

"Can you describe him? What does he look like?" the friend asked.

The banker replied, "Well, he is about five feet tall and we're about one hundred thousand dollars short."
