Two old friends were out golfing. As they were preparing to tee off near a road, a funeral cortege drove by and one of the two friends took off his hat and held it over his heart until the line of cars had passed.

两个老朋友出外打高尔夫球，当他们在一处路旁准备开球时，一列出殡送葬车队恰巧经过那里，其中一位朋友脱去帽子放在胸前，直到车队通过后才戴上帽子。

“Well, that was good manners on your part,” said his partner.

“你这样做实在很有礼貌，”他的同伴说道。

“Oh, it was the least I could do. After all, we would have been married thirty years next Tuesday.”

“喔，那只不过是我最起码所能做的事了。毕竟，到下星期二我们结婚就满三十年了。”
