At the time of crisis during the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln was awakened late one night by an opportunist who reported that an office-holder had just died.

"Mr. President, "asked the man,"could I take his place? "

"Well, "said Lincoln,"if the undertaker agrees. It's certainly all right with me. "

我沒意見

美國內戰危機時刻，一個投機分子深夜叫醒亞伯拉罕·林肯，向他報告一位官員剛剛去世的消息。

“總統先生，”那個人問道，“我能替代他嗎？”

“噢，”林肯說，“如果殯儀員同意，我肯定沒意見。”
