Act of God
"Bring Your Child to Work Day" 快到了, 就讲一个"Bring Your Child to Work Day" 时发生的笑话吧。
公司一直有一个好传统, 每年都会花很多力气操办"Bring Your Child to Work Day" 活动。HR 会搞一些小孩喜欢的活动, 带孩子们参观, 和准备小礼品/奖品。 所以, 每个员工的适龄孩子都愿意来。
某年, "Bring Your Child to Work Day" 午餐时, 我们几个人碰到一个带着5,6 个 小孩的同事。 同事骄傲的告诉我们, 这是他的 老三, 老四, 老五, 老六还有老七; 叹了口气, 同事继续说, 老大, 老二已经上大学了, 老八老九还小, 可惜 都不能来。 同事离开后, 我们几个就在人背后不厚道的嚼起舌根来。
我: WoW, that is a huge family, I guess they can have 2 full basketball teams and play a game within the family.
三弟: I was wondering if they use any Contraception. Anyway, it is a big burden and just feeding those kids can be a stunning job.
某白人: I heard that he is a pious Roman Catholic. And by their doctrine, they are allowed to use the amusement park but forbidden to bring anything into it.
我 (confused): Can you elaborate more?
某白人: To Catholic, pregnancy is an Act of God, except not using the amusement park, you cannot use anything to stop the Act of God.
三弟: But, rain is also Act of God, when it gets excessive, we all use Rubber.
