Hands Off | 请勿使用

English Original

A friend of mine was hosting an important dinner party for her husband's business associates. She placed guest towels and soap in the bathroom. To prevent her teenagers from using them first, she attached warning notes that read: "Use these, and I'll kill you."

After the guests had left following a successful evening, she went into the bathroom and found the towels and soap untouched… with her warning notes still attached.


中文翻译

我的一位朋友为她丈夫的商业伙伴举办了一场重要的晚宴。她把给客人准备的毛巾和香皂放在了浴室里。为了不让她的孩子们先用这些东西,她在上面贴了警告纸条,上面写着:“用了这些,我就杀了你。”

客人们度过了一个愉快的夜晚离开后,她走进浴室,发现毛巾和香皂都原封未动……她贴的警告纸条也还在上面。
