美國流行笑話：Eat nails for lunch 吃鐵釘當(dāng)午飯

214　Eat nails for lunch 吃鐵釘當(dāng)午飯

I have a reputation at work for being a strict boss. One day I was in the break room with my co-worker. I reached into the refrigerator for my lunch, which was packed in an Ace Hardware paper bag. My co-worker stopped mid-bite and stared at me, looking a little tense. When I pulled my sandwich out of the bag, he sighed in relief. “What's the matter?” I asked him. “Uh, nothing,” he replied, “I was beginning to think you really do eat nails for lunch.”
我在工作中是出了名的嚴(yán)格的上司。有一天我和一位同事一起在休息室里。我從冰箱里拿出我的用愛斯五金公司紙袋裝的午飯。我的同事停止了咀嚼，緊張地盯著我看。當(dāng)我從紙袋里拿出三明治的時候他松了一口氣。我問他：“怎么啦？”他回答說：“啊，沒事。我剛開始真以為你是吃鐵釘當(dāng)午飯。”
