Free Kisses | 免费之吻

English Original

A gas station owner in Mississippi, aiming to boost sales, posted a sign: "Free Kisses with Fill-Up."

Soon, a local man pulled in, filled his tank, and requested his free kisses. The owner told him to pick a number from 1 to 10; a correct guess would win the prize. The man guessed 8. "You were close," said the proprietor. "The number was 7. Sorry, no kisses this time."

A week later, the same man returned with his friend Bubba for another fill-up and again asked for the free kisses. Once more, the owner asked him to guess the number. This time he guessed 2. "Sorry, it was 3," the proprietor replied. "You were close, but no free kisses this time."

As they drove away, the man said to his buddy, "I think that game is rigged. He doesn't really give away free kisses."

Bubba replied, "No it ain't, Billy Ray. It ain't rigged. My wife won twice last week."


中文翻译

密西西比州的一位加油站老板为了提升销量,挂出了一块牌子,上面写着:“加油送免费香吻。”

不久,一位当地男子开车进来,加满了油,并要求获得他的免费香吻。老板让他从1到10中选一个数字;猜对了就能赢得奖品。男子猜了8。“很接近了,”老板说,“数字是7。抱歉,这次没有吻。”

一周后,同一位男子和他的朋友巴巴再次来加油,又一次索要免费香吻。老板再次让他猜数字。这次他猜了2。“抱歉,是3,”老板回答,“很接近,但这次没有免费香吻。”

开车离开时,男子对他的朋友说:“我觉得那游戏有猫腻。他根本不是真的送免费香吻。”

巴巴回答说:“不,没有,比利·雷。没猫腻。我老婆上周赢了两次。”
