Being rather bald, I have long been used to comforting myself on a visit to the hairdresser with the opening gambit,“Grass doesnt grow on a busy street.”
However, I was not prepared for the response of one barber,“We always say theres no sense in putting a roof on an empty barn.”
每次去美發中心的時候,我總是以一句自我安慰的話,來提及我那近乎禿頂的腦袋,“繁華的馬路不會長草。”
沒想到,有位理發師這樣應了我一句:“我們是認為,荒蕪的土地就不需要有屋頂。”
