Job Technique

　　Vacationing on the island of Oahu, we were waiting in our tour bus for some stragglers to show up. A man, obviously not with our group, approached the bus and was about to board. How would our driver handle the situation, we wondered. Straight-faced, he leaned toward the door and asked, "Going to the nudist Colony, sir?"

　　"Oh, no," replied the would-be passenger, retreating quickly.

　　"Works every time," the driver said with a wink.

　　Notes:

　　（1） Oahu n.瓦胡（島）
　　（2） straggler n.落伍者；掉隊者
　　（3） show up顯現
　　（4） approach v.走近；接近
　　（5） be about to（do）（表計劃）即將做
　　（6） board v.上（船、火車、飛機、公共汽車等）
　　（7） straight-faced adj.板起面孔的
　　（8） nudist Colony天體營（裸體主義者實行其信條的場所）
