Looking for a Cashier
Originally in English
There was a banker who attended a dinner party, and
a friend said to him, "Oh! I heard that your bank is
looking for a cashier," and the banker said "Yes, yes,
we are, we are." And then the friend said, "But I thought
you just hired one a few weeks ago." So the banker
replied, "Yes, yes, indeed, we did. That's the one
we're looking for now." So the friend said, "Can you
describe him? What does he look like?" And the banker
replied, "Well, he is about five feet tall and (we're about)
one hundred thousand dollars short."

不是已经请到一个人了吗?’银行家说:‘我们确实是雇
用了一个人,而我们现在就是在找这个人。’那个友人说:
‘你说说看他长什么样子?’银行家回答:‘他是五尺(无耻)
