苏格兰人在讨价还价
An American, a Scot and a Canadian were killed in a car accident. They arrived at the gates of heaven, where a flustered St. Peter explained that there had been a mistake. "Give me $500 each," he said, "and I'll return you to earth as if the whole thing never happened."
"Done!" said the American. Instantly, he found himself standing unhurt near the scene.
"Where are the others?" asked a medic.
"Last I knew," said the American, "the Scot was haggling price, and the Canadian was arguing that his government should pay."
个美国人,一个苏格兰人和一个加拿大人在一场车祸中丧生。他们到达天堂的大门,在那里一个慌张的彼得解释说是搞错了。”每人给我500美元,”他说,“我会回报你对地球就像什么事也没发生。”“成交!”美国人说。立刻,他发现自己安然无恙地站在事故现场。“其他人在哪儿?”一个医生问。“我知道,”美国人说,“苏格兰人在讨价还价,与加拿大争论说政府应该付钱。”
