A Soldier's Brilliant Idea
Mr. Robinson had to travel somewhere on business, and as he was in a hurry, he decided to go by air. He liked sitting beside a window when he was flying, so when he got on to the plane, he looked for a window seat. He found all of them had already had been taken except for one. There was a soldier sitting in the seat beside this one, and Mr. Robinson was surprised that he had not taken the one by the window; but, anyhow, he at once went towards it.
When he reached it, however, he saw that there was a notice on it. It was written in ink and said, "This seat is preserved for proper load balance, thank you." Mr Robinson had never seen such an unusual notice in a plane before, but he thought that the plane must be carrying something particularly heavy in it, so he walked on and found another empty seat, not beside a window, to sit in.
Two or three people tried to sit in the window seat beside the soldier, but they too read the notice and went on, when the plane was nearly full, a very beautiful girl hurried into the plane. The soldier, who was watching the passengers coming in, quickly took the notice off the seat beside himself and in this way succeededin having the company of the girl during the whole trip.
士兵坐飛機(jī)有美女陪伴的高招
由于生意方面的事,羅賓遜先生得出趟門。因?yàn)橛悬c(diǎn)緊急,他決定坐飛機(jī)。乘機(jī)旅行時(shí),他喜歡靠窗坐,故而一登機(jī),他就尋找一個(gè)靠窗的座位。他發(fā)現(xiàn)只有一個(gè)靠窗的座位還空著。在那空座位邊坐著一名士兵。令羅賓遜先生納悶的是,這位士兵沒(méi)有坐靠窗的位置。羅賓遜先生不管那些,他馬上徑直朝那個(gè)空座位走去。
然而,等到了那兒,他看見(jiàn)座位上有則啟事,是用鋼筆寫的:“為保持裝載平衡,特預(yù)設(shè)該位置,謝謝合作。”羅賓遜先生還從來(lái)沒(méi)有在飛機(jī)上見(jiàn)過(guò)如此不同尋常的啟事。不過(guò),他想飛機(jī)上一定裝了什么特別重的物品,于是他找了個(gè)不靠窗的位置。
又有兩三個(gè)乘客試圖坐在那個(gè)士兵旁的靠窗座位上,他們看到那則啟事就走開(kāi)了。當(dāng)快滿座時(shí),一位非常美麗的姑娘匆匆走進(jìn)機(jī)艙。一直在注意進(jìn)艙旅客的那個(gè)士兵趕緊拿掉他旁邊空座位上的啟事。士兵用這種辦法,成功地找到了一位姑娘一路作伴。
