One day when womens dresses were on sale at the FarEast Department Store, a dignified middle-aged man decided to get his wife a piece. But he soon found himself being battered by frantic women.

"Listen," he said, "I have been acting like a gentleman for an hour. From now on, I am acting like a lady."

一天，远东百货公司的女装大减价，一位看起来很高贵的中年男子想给太太买一件。但是不久他就发现自己被疯狂的女人们挤得不成样子了。 他尽力忍耐着。后来，他低下头，猛烈地舞动着手臂挤过人群。 “你干嘛？”有人在尖叫，“你难道不能表现得象位绅士吗？” “听着，”他说，“我已经象绅士一样表现了一个小时。从现在起，我要表现得象位女士。”
