Big Boss Man | 大老板

English Original

When the body was first made, all the parts wanted to be Boss.

The brain said, "I should be boss because I control the whole body's responses and functions."

The feet said, "We should be Boss as we carry the brain about and get him to where he wants to go."

The hands said, "We should be the Boss because we do all the work and earn all the money."

And so it went on and on with the heart, the lungs, and the eyes until finally the asshole spoke up. All the parts laughed at the idea of the asshole being the Boss. So the asshole went on strike, blocked itself up and refused to work.

Within a short time the eyes became crossed, the hands clenched, the feet twitched, the heart and lungs began to panic and the brain fevered. Eventually they all decided that the asshole should be the Boss, so the motion was passed. All the other parts did all the work while the boss just sat and passed out the shit!

Moral of the story: You don't need brains to be a boss--any asshole will do.


中文翻译

身体刚被创造出来时,所有部位都想当老板。

大脑说:“我应该当老板,因为我控制着整个身体的反应和功能。”

双脚说:“我们应该当老板,因为我们承载着大脑,带他去他想去的地方。”

双手说:“我们应该当老板,因为我们做所有的工作,赚所有的钱。”

接着,心脏、肺和眼睛也纷纷发言,直到最后,屁眼开口了。所有部位都嘲笑让屁眼当老板的想法。于是屁眼罢工了,把自己堵住,拒绝工作。

没过多久,眼睛开始斜视,双手紧握,双脚抽搐,心脏和肺部开始恐慌,大脑也发烧了。最终,他们都决定应该让屁眼当老板,于是这个提议通过了。所有其他部位承担了所有的工作,而老板只是坐着,排出废物!

故事的寓意:当老板不需要脑子——任何一个屁眼都行。
