"What do you do?", the judge asked the first man.
“I’m a cork soaker.”
The judge blinked. “Pardon?”
“I’m a cork soaker. I worked at a wine bottling plant, soaking corks in water and making sure they fit the wine bottles perfectly when we sealed them up.”
“Okay, what about you?”, the judge asked the second man.
“I’m a cook seeker.”
The judge rubbed his eyes wearily. “What?”
“A cook seeker, your honor. I recruit and head-hunt chefs at all levels for restaurants across the country.”
“And you?”, the judge asked the third man.
“I’m a coke sacker, your honor.”
The judge tugs at the collar of his robes nervously. “Say that again?”
“I take raw coke from the coal mines and put them in sacks, your honor.”
“And what do you do?”, asked the judge of the fourth man.
“I’m a sock tucker… Before socks are put in boxes at the factory, I tuck them into themselves so that they fit properly.”
Red in the face, the judge asks the fifth man, “And what is it you do?”
Smiling proudly, the last man says, “I’m the real deal, your honor.”更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
