To Congress
After voting on Election Day, I stopped at a bakery. As the cashier rang up some cinnamon rolls and doughnuts for the man ahead of me, the customer joked, "Do you guarantee there don't have any calories?"
Straight-faced, the clerk responsed, "Absolutely no calories."
"You know where you'll go if you lie like this?" the man teased.
"Yes," said the cashier. "To Congress."
去國會
選舉日投票之后,我在一家面包店前停了下來。當收款員為排在我前面的人包起桂皮卷和炸面圈時,那名顧客開玩笑道:“你敢肯定這些東西不含任何卡路里?”
那名職員板著面孔回答說:“絕對沒有卡路里。”
“你知道你那樣撒謊會去哪兒嗎?”那人取笑道。
“知道,”收款員說道,“去國會。”
