麥爾斯有時在上班時間去理發館理發
Miles sometime went to the barber's during working hours to have his hair cut. But this was against the office rules: clerks had to have their hair cut in their own time. While Miles was at the barber's one day, the manager of the office came in by chance to have his own hair cut and sat just beside him.
"Hello, Miles," the manager said. "I see that you are having your hair cut in office time."
"Yes, sir, I am," admitted Miles calmly. "You see, sir, it grows in office time."
"Not all of it," said the manager at once. "Some of it grows in your own time."
"Yes, sir, that's quite true." Answered Miles politely, "but I'm not having it all cut off."
麥爾斯有時在上班時間去理發館理發，但這是違反辦公室規定的：職員只能利用自己的時間理發。一天，正當麥爾斯理發時，經理碰巧也進來理發，而且就坐在他旁邊。
"你好，麥爾斯，"經理說。"我看到你在上班時間理發了。"
"是的，先生。正是這樣。"麥爾斯平靜地承認了。"可先生，你看，頭發是在上班時間長的。"
"不全都是吧，"經理立刻說，"有一些是在你自己的時間里長的。"
"對呀，先生，你說得很對。"麥爾斯禮貌地回答說，"但我并沒有把頭發全都剪掉啊。"
