第59章 我的将军比你的将军地位高

I was scolding our pastor for his habit of starting church services five or ten minutes later.I mentioned that in my years with the Air Force,when the general scheduled us to take off at Seven O'clock,he didn't mean Seven Five or Seven Ten.The pastor smiled at me and said,“My general outranks your general.”

我正在斥责我们的牧师,因为他的礼拜总是推迟5分钟到10分钟才开始。我说,我在空军这么多年,如果将军说7点钟起飞,那绝不是7:05或者7:10起飞。牧师对我笑一笑说:“我的将军比你的将军地位高。”
