A college teacher invited two businessmen to dinner at his home.One of the
two men never went to school when he was young and was worried that he
couldn't answ er other men's questions correctly.But his friend said,
“Don't worry,Tom.Jus t do what I do,don't talk about anything if you
don't understand it.”
Everything went on quite well,but by the end of the evening.Tom had had a
lot of drink and began to get careless.
One of the guests asked him if he liked Edison,and Tom answered,“It's
pleasan t,I like scotch (威士忌酒) better.”All the guests in the room
kept quiet for a moment,and soon they began to leave.
When the two men went out of the house,the friend said to Tom,“You
certainly made yourself a fool because you told us the scotch foolishly.”
“What do you mean?”asked the other man.“What was wrong with it?”
“We all know that Edison isn't a kind of drink,”his friend answered,
“it's a kind of music.”
