副總裁
A man who had just been promoted to vice-president boasted so much about it to his wife that she finally retorted, “Vice-presidents are a dozen a dime. Why, in the supermarket they even have a vice-president in charge of prunes.”
Furious, the husband phoned the supermarket in the expectation of refuting his wife. He asked to speak to the vice-president in charge of prunes.
“Which kind?” was the reply. “Fresh or dried?”

剛被提升為副總的丈夫向妻子大吹大擂，妻子終於反駁道：“副總裁壹毛錢買壹打。妳看超級市場裏甚至有壹名負責李子的副總裁呢。”
惱怒的丈夫立即給超級市場打電話，準備駁斥妻子。他要求與負責李子的副總裁通話。
“管哪方面的？”對方答道。“鮮貨還是幹貨？”
