Bad Toilet Paper
质量差的卫生纸
He needed to blow his nose. He pulled four sheets off the roll of toilet paper. What's this, he wondered. The first two sheets were 2-ply. The next two sheets were mostly 1-ply. He pulled six more sheets off the roll. The first four sheets were mostly 1-ply. The last two sheets were 2-ply. How do they make toilet paper wrong, he wondered. Maybe the whole roll was no good. Maybe all the rolls were no good. He blew his nose. His wife came home. She went into the bathroom. She came out of the bathroom. She was holding about ten sheets. Some were 2-ply. Some were mostly 1-ply. "What's this?" she said. "I don't know," he said. "Sometimes they make mistakes." "I've used toilet paper my whole life," she said. "I've never seen this problem before. Was this on sale? Did you get a good deal on it?"
他需要醒鼻子。他拽了4张卫生纸。他疑惑道,这是什么。前两张纸有两层。后两张纸最多有一层。他又拿了四张纸。前四张纸也大部分为一层。后两张为两层。他想,他们怎么会把卫生纸搞错了。或许,整卷手纸都不好。或许所有的手纸都不好。他醒了鼻子。他的妻子回家了。她进入了卫生间。她从卫生间出来。她手里拿着10张纸。许多是两层。但是绝大部分为一层。她问到,这是什么?他回答说,不知道。她说“他们有时也犯错。”“我用了一辈子手纸。还没有见过这样的问题发生。这样的手纸还在卖吗?你是不是买的廉价货?”
