124 An Inch Given, a Mile Taken
124 得寸进尺
Karen calls the manager for a dog day off.
K: Hello, Mr. Fu?
M: Yes. This is he.
K: Uh... I'm calling to ask for a day off.
M: What's the matter? Are you sick again?
K: No. Um...actually it's my dog.
I think it's that time of the month.
I've got to take her to the vet.
M: I guess it's OK. But I didn't know dogs had periods.
K: They sure do. By the way, if she gets pregnant, do I get two months off?
M: Do you want permanent leave?
K: Uh...what do you mean?
