笑话原文】



The Garbage Can Is the Garbage



I’ve been hauling trash for years, so when the sign “Garbage” appeared on trash can, I replaced it with my own note, “After 20 years on the job, I know garbage when I see it! ” I emptied the can and left. The next week, a new note appeared on the same can, “Dear Professor Trash, the garbage can is the garbage!”



中文译文】



这个垃圾桶就是垃圾



我收垃圾已经有一些年头了。所以,当我看见一个垃圾桶上放了一张写着“垃圾”字样的纸,就把它换成我的字条:“干这行20年了,我一看见垃圾就知道!”我把垃圾桶里的东西倒出来之后就走了。过了一个星期,在这个垃圾桶上又出现了另一张字条:“亲爱的垃圾教授,这个垃圾桶就是垃圾!”
