The notorious cheap skate finally decided to have a party. Explaining to a friend how to find his apartment, he said, "Come up to the fifth floor and ring the doorbell with your elbow. When the door open, push with your foot." 一個出了名的吝嗇鬼終于決定要請一次客了。他在向一個朋友解釋怎么找到他家時說：“你上到五樓，找中間那個門，然后用你的胳膊肘按門鈴。門開了之后，再用你的腳把門推開。”

"Why use my elbow and foot?" “為什么要用我的肘和腳呢？”

"Well, gosh," was the reply, "You're not coming empty-handed, are you?" “你的雙手得拿禮物啊。天哪，你總不會空著手來吧？”吝嗇鬼回答。
