Make It Nine Months
“Mr Clark, I’m afraid I have bad news,” the doctor told his patient. “You only have six months to live.”
The patient sat in a stunned silence for the next several minutes, “I can’t possibly pay you in that time.”
“OK,” the doctor said, “let’s make it nine months.”

The Stupid Question
Dan was the doorman of a club in a big city. Every day, thousands of people passed his door, and a lot of them stopped and asked him, “What’s the time, please?”
After a few months, Dan said to himself. “I’m not going to answer all those stupid people any more. I’m going to buy a big clock and put it upon the wall here.” Then he did so.
“Now people aren’t going to stop and ask me the time,” he thought happily. But after that, a lot of people stopped, looked at the clock and then asked Dan, “Is that clock right?”
愚蠢的问题
丹在一个大城市的某个俱乐部当守门人。每天都有数千人经过他所在的门口，而且许多人都会停下来问他：“请问现在几点？”
几个月后，丹对自己说：“我不想再回答那此蠢人提出的问题了。我要去买一只大钟，把它挂在这儿的墙上。”于是他买了一只钟，把它挂在了墙上。
“现在人们总不会再停下来问我时间了，”他高兴地想。可是从那以后，每天仍有许多人停下来，看看钟，然后问丹：“这钟准吗？”
