My true story joke - 1 When I came to California in 1980, my first job was working at a bank as a "Loan Secretary" preparing loan documents. The bank gave me 2 weeks vacation with pay in 1981. So I and my cousin planed a 16 days trip to Grand Canyon, Zion, Grand Teton, Bryce Canyon, Yellowstone and Arches National Parks, .... My cousin and I will be the only drivers take turns and 3 older generation (my parents and my aunt). We got all the hotel reservation, route trips, .... planed. But I received a letter from USC (Univ. of Southern Calif.) for TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) the same morning we planed to start our departure. To pass that exam was very important to me to enroll in pharmacy school, but my first vacation had been planed. So, I went to the exam from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and drove home to meet with my aunt and my cousin at my apartment with my parents. When I arrived, it was almost noon time and our 1st hotel in a town near Grand Canyon National Park needed 7 or 8 hours driving. We needed "ice cubes" to cool soft drinks in ice chest cooler. I and my cousin rushed into a supermarket and asked the first employee "Where is your Ice?" That Mexican guy pointed to his two eyes with his two fingers and said "Here, here". I said "Ice cubes". Honesty is the best policy. |
