The Mysterious Computer Scale
While Milgrom waited at the airport to board his plane, he noticed a computer scale that would give your weight and a fortune. He dropped a quarted in the slot, and the computer screen displaued:”You weigh 195 pounds you’re married and you’re an your way to San Diego.” Milgrom stood there dumbfounded.
Another man put in a quarter and the computer read: “You weigh 184 pounds, you’re divorced and you’re on your way to Chicago.”
Milgrom was amazed. Then he rushed to the men’s room, changed his clothes and put on dark glasses. He went to the machine again.The computer read:” You still weigh 195 pounds, you’re still married and you just missed your plane to San Diego!”
神奇的電腦秤
就在米爾格魯在機場等候登機的時候,發現了一臺電腦秤可以測算人的體重和命運。他投了一枚兩角五分的硬幣進去,電腦屏幕上出現了一行字:“您的體重是195英磅,已婚,正準備去圣地亞哥。”米爾格魯驚訝地呆站在那里。
這時另一個人也投了一枚硬幣,電腦顯示說:“您184英磅,離婚,準備去芝加哥。”
米爾格魯簡直震驚了。于是他走進洗手間,換了一套衣服,戴上了墨鏡,接著再次來到了機器前。這一次電腦屏幕上顯示:“您依舊是195英磅,婚姻善依然是已婚。您剛剛錯過了飛往圣地亞哥的航班!”
