英语笑话：Hasty Interruption

The fine-furniture store where I work has been in business since the 1920s.Recently I received a call from a woman who wanted to replace some chairs from a dining set purchased from us in the 1930s.I assured her we could help and sought the assistance of the office manager. "You'll never believe this one， " I told him." I just got a call from a customer who bought some chairs from us in the 1930s. "

Before I could finish repeating her request， he interrupted and said， "Don't tell me she hasn't received them yet!"

我所工作的精品商店是从二十年代以来就营业的。最近我接到一个妇女的电话。她想换一套餐具中的一些椅子。这套餐具她是在三十年代从我们这儿买的。我向她保证说我们可以帮忙并向部门经理提了出来。

“你永远也不会相信，”我对他说，“我刚接到一个顾客的电话，她在三十年代从我们这里买了一些椅子。”

我还没来得及说她的要求，经理就打断了我的话：“不要告诉我她到现在还没收到货！”
