埃布和妻子埃丝特正飞往澳大利亚，准备度假两周，庆祝他们的银婚纪念日。突然，机长通过公共广播系统宣布： "女士们先生们，我有坏消息要宣布，发动机停止工作,我们将要尝试紧急降落。很幸运，我看到下面是个地图未标明的小岛，我们能在海岸上着陆。但是我们可能不会获得营救，将在这小岛上度过余生 多亏了飞行员驾驶技术好，飞机安全降落在小岛上。 一小时后，埃布转过头问妻子："埃丝特，我们支付那5000美元的公共广播费账单了吗？""没有，亲爱的。”她回答说。埃布因为这次强行着陆还在浑身发抖，接着又问：“埃丝特，我们支付美国快递卡了吗？”"啊，没有，很抱歉，我忘了寄支票了。"妻子回答道。“最后一件事，埃丝特，你记着给维萨和万事达信用卡寄这个月的支票了吗？”“哎，原谅我，”埃丝特乞求道，"那个我也没有寄。’’ 埃布抓住妻子给了她一个40年来最长的吻，埃丝特挣脱他问："这是为什么呀？”“他们会找到我们的！”埃布回答。 Neglected Bill Abe and Esther are flying to Australia for a two- week vacation to celebrate their 40th anniversary. Suddenly, over the public address system, the Captain announces, “Ladies and Gentlemen, I am afraid I have some very bad news. Our engines have ceased functioning and we will attempt an emergency landing. Luckily, I see an uncharted island below us and we should be able to land on the beach. However，the odds are that we may never be rescued and will have to live on the island for the rest of our lives!” Thanks to the skill of the flight crew, the plane lands safely on the island. An hour later Abe turns to his wife and asks, “Esther, did we pay our $5, 000 PBS pledge check yet?” “No, sweetheart,” she responds. Abe, still shaken from the crash landing, then asks, “Esther, did we pay our American Express card yet?” "Oh, no! I’m sorry. I forgot to send the check,” she says. “One last thing, Esther. Did you remember to send checks for the Visa and MasterCard this month?” he asks. “Oh, forgive me, Abe，” begs Esther, “I didn't send that one, either. Abe grabs her and gives her the biggest kiss in 40 years. Esther pulls away and asks him, “What was that for?” Abe answers, “They’ll find us!” |
