跟老婆兩人在排隊結帳的時候，看見後面的太太手裡捧著一件襯衫跟一條領帶，
(為了驗證聊天理論) 於是我誇講她的眼光，
「it is a beautiful tie.... and shirt. They match perfectly.」
很漂亮的領帶跟襯衫；它們很配的
「do they?.... thank you! these are for my son-in-law. do you think he'll like them?」
是嗎? 謝謝你! 這些是要送我女婿的，你覺得他會喜歡嗎?
「don't worry... men are easy....」
別擔心啦，男人很好搞定的
「oh... are they?」
喔... 是嗎?
「I'm easy.....」
我就很好搞定....
....
....
....
「oh, make sure don't tell him they were on sale and keep the original price tags.」
喔、對了，記得不要讓他知道這些是特價買的，還有記得留住那原價的標籤
「yea, you are right.... the shirt was 50, and now is 14.99.... my husband just bought some last week at original price.
對啊，沒錯，這襯衫原價是 50 塊呢，現在只要 14 塊九毛九。我先生上個禮拜才買了幾件，是原價買的。
「you should bring them back, return them and buy the new ones....」
你應該把它們拿回來退掉、再買這些特價品
「I should think about that....」
我是該考慮這麼做的
...
...

then she looked at the stuff I held in hands, and said,
然後她看到我手裡準備要結帳的東西，她說、
「they are matched too.... same color.... look great for each other...」
它們也很配呀... 同樣的色系... 配起來很好看...
「oh, but, they are not related, though... this is a hat... and this is a toilet rug....」
喔，可是它們是不相干的東西耶.... 一個是帽子，一個是馬桶前面的踏墊....
she blushed immediately right after heard my explanation.
一聽我解釋完、她的臉立刻就紅了....
「I'm sorry....」
真不好意思....
「it's OK.... I know... you saw this folded rug and thought it was a scarf or something...
and you are right.... tomorrow morning you gonna see me wearing my hat and standing on this new toilet rug....」
沒關係啦... 你看到這摺起來的踏墊，你以為是條圍巾還是怎麼來著....
不過你說的沒錯，明天你會看到我戴這著頂帽子上廁所的....
(my wife and she laughed and even the lady behind her laughed too....)
我太太跟她聽了之後都笑了出來；連排在她後面的太太也笑了
my new hat accidentally matches the toilet rug my wife picks...
我的新帽子剛好跟新買的踏墊是一樣的顏色。
in order to solve her predicament.... I switched the subjects.
we chatted about weather, the heavy snow we got lately and the snowblower,Taiwan....
為了轉移這個難堪，於是我們改變話題....
