| A man went to an insurance office to have his life insured. The manager of the office asked him how old his parents were when they died.
"Mother had a bad heart and died at the age of thirty. Father died of tubercuiosis when he was thirty five.
" I am very sorry," said the manger, "We cannot insure your life as your parents were not healthy."
As the man leaving the office, depressed, he met a clerk who had overheard the conversation.
"You must not be so frank and tell the truth," said the clerk, "No office will insure you if you speak like that ,Use your imagination a little."
The man went to another offic and was shown into the manger's room.
"Well, young man, how old were your parents when they died?"
"Mother was ninety--three and she died from a fall off her bicycle. Father was ninety-eight and he died while he was playing football." |
有一个到保险公司去要人寿保险。公司经理问他的父母是多大年纪死的。
“母亲30岁时死于心脏病。父亲35岁时死于肺结核。"
"很抱歉，” 经理说，“我们不能为你的寿命保险，因为你的父母都不健康。”
当这人沮丧地离开保险公司时，他遇到了一位无意中听到了他们对话的一位职员。
“你不该这样直率的说出真话，” 职员说，“象你那样说，没有一家公司愿意为你保险的。 发挥一点你的想象力吧。”
这人去了另一家保险公司，被带进了经理室。
“啊，年青人，你的父母多大年纪死的？”
“母亲活了93岁，她是从自行车上摔下来死的，父亲活了98岁，他是在踢足球时死的。” |
