雙語黑色笑話：852　Fixed Income 固定收入

英語笑話

852　Fixed Income 固定收入

A client stopped by my office at the United Way and took a seat. He was in a bind, he said. He'd gone through all his money and needed help paying his next utility bill. I told him I'd do what I could. As I took down his information, he raised an excellent question. “Why,” he asked dolefully, “do they call it ‘fixed income’ when I'm broke all the time?”

一個當(dāng)事人走進我在慈善機構(gòu)“聯(lián)合之路”的辦公室坐下來。他說他正處于困境之中。他的錢全部用完了，需要我們幫助他付下一份水電費賬單。我告訴他我會盡我所能。在我記錄他的有關(guān)信息的時候，他提了一個極好的問題。他愁眉苦臉地問：“我一直處于破產(chǎn)之中，為什么他們還說是‘固定收入’呢？”
