A Strange Telephone Call
A Chicago family was having dinner when the phone rung. The maid
answered and said, "It sure is!" and hung up. The same thing happened five minutes later.
" What's going on?" asked the father.
　　　"Some crackpot, " explained the maid, "keeps calling to say, "It's long distance from New York."

“怎么回事？”父亲问道。
“一个疯子，”女仆解释说，“他总是坚持说‘从纽约到这非常远（这是纽约的长途）’。”
