笑话原文】
Why He Couldn’t Leave?
There was a meeting with a large number of people. At first the speaker was very interesting, but as time went on, he became very boring. Finally when he was through, there was only one man sitting in the large room.
The speaker walked up to the man and said, “Thank you for hearing me out when all the others left the room.”
“Oh! Don’t mention it!” replied the man, “I cannot leave because I am the next speaker.”

他为什么不能走
很多人在开会。一开始，讲话的人还挺有趣的，可是渐渐的，他的讲话越来越无聊。终于他讲完了，大大的房间里只剩下一个人坐在下面。
讲话的人走过去对那个人说：“感谢你在所有人都离开后还听我说完。”
“哎，别提了！”那个人回答，“我不能离开是因为我是下一个要讲话的人！”
