一位男子和他的妻子从纽约开车,穿过乡村前往加利福尼亚。他看了看油量表,决定在下一个加油站停下来加油。

大约15分钟后,他看见了一个美孚加油站。于是,把车停在高辛烷值汽油的加油泵旁。

“我能为你们做些什么?”服务员问道。

“加高辛烷值汽油。”司机回答。

服务员在加油时,上下打量着这辆车。

“这是什么车?”服务员问,“我以前从未见过这样的车。”

“嗯。”司机自豪地回答,“我这宝贝是1999年的凯迪拉克帝威型汽车。”

“这车里面都有些什么?”服务员问。

“哦。”司机说,“它什么都有。它配备了动力转向、电动座椅、电动天窗、电动后视镜、调频/调幅收音机,后备箱里有10卡座的CD播放器,8声道立体声功率放大器,每声道100瓦输出功率,8个扬声器,齿条齿轮转向系统,四轮碟式刹车装置,真皮内饰,数字仪表盘。最重要的是,有一具8.8升的12V型发动机。”

“哇。”服务员说,“真是太棒了!”

“我欠你多少钱汽油钱?”司机问。

“一共是30.17美元。”服务员说。

司机掏出钱夹,取出一张20美元和一张10美元的纸票。他又从另一个口袋里掏出一把零钱。零钱里夹着几个高尔夫球钉。

“那些小木头的东西是什么?”服务员问。

“我开车时就把球放在它上面。”司机说。

“哇。”服务员说道,“那些卡迪拉克的设计者想得真周到!”

 

注:1)“Golf Tee(高尔夫球钉,或球座)”是在发球时插入地面,将球放在它顶部,供击球时不至于将球杆打到地上的装置。2)“Drive(驾驶,击球)”是一个多义词。司机说的是“击球时就把球放在它上面”,而服务员以为是“开车时,车内放置高尔夫球的装置”。
