Late for Work
For thirty years, Johnson had arrived at work at 9 A.M., on the dot.
He had never missed a day and was never late.
Consequently, when on one particular day 9 A.M. passed without Johnson's arrival, it caused a sensation.
All work ceased and the boss himself, looking at his watch and muttering, came out into the corridor.
Finally, precisely at ten, Johnson showed up, clothes dusty and torn, his face scratched and bruised, his glasses bent.
He limped painfully to the time clock, punched in, and said, aware that all eyes were upon him,
"I tripped and rolled down two flights of stairs in the subway.
Nearly killed myself."
The boss said, "And to roll down two flights of stairs took you an entire hour?"

Tarde a trabajar
Por 30 años, Parras habia llegado puntualmente a las 9 de la mañana.
Nunca falto un dia y nunca llego tarde.
Consequentemente cuando una mañana no aparecio a la hora habitual, causo conmocion en la oficina.
El jefe mirando el reloj se paseaba por el corredor esperandolo.
Al fin a las 10 de la mañana aparecio Parras , cojeando, con un ojo morado, todo masgullado y los anteojos quebrados.
Me cai dos escaleras en el metro, anuncio a su jefe.
Y el jefe le respondio
" Y te demoraste una hora en caerte de las escaleras"
