詹宁斯带着他的朋友参观他的家。他介绍了他和妻子多年婚姻中所获得的全部收藏品。

“在我去世的前一天，我要卖掉我们收藏的每一件东西，看看它们总共值多少钱。”

“可是，”他的朋友说，“你怎么会知道自己死之前的那一天是哪一天呢？所以，你是不可能把它们卖出去的！”

“这你就不懂了。”男人笑着说，“只要我把它们卖了，妻子就会杀了我。”

原文： Just Before I Die

Showing his friend around his home，Jennings pointed out all of the collectibles he and his wife had acquired over their long years of marriage。

“The day before I die，I'd like to sell every piece we've got just to see how much it's all worth。”

“Well。”his friend replies，“since you couldn't possibly know the day before you were going to die，you'll never be able to sell！”

“And that's where you're wrong。”the man smiled，“If I sell it，my wife would kill me！”
