An Indian gentleman on his first visit to the USA visited the foreign exchange to exchange some Rupees. He handed to the cashier 100,000Rps and after a quick calculation on the calculator, was given $50.45 with a typical «service» smile and «Have a nice day!»
The Indian promptly spent this and returned the next day with another wad of Rupees. He handed the same cashier 100,000Rps and put his hand out for his $50.45, instead he received $48.78.
He questiond bitterly Ooh! vy less!!??» Whereupon the cashier replied «Fluctuations!»
He screamed back «FLUCK YOU AMERICANS, TOO!» I’m going back to Delhi!!!
Кем восхищаюсь на английском и перевод.
