[O]ne day, in a weak and hungry moment, my roommate and I succumbed to a bit of larceny. A greengrocer's truck had parked down the street and was left unattended. We grabbed the first crate we could off the back. It turned out to be celery. For two days we ate nothing but celery and used up more calories chewing than we realized in energy. "Damn it," I said to my roommate, "What're we going to do? We can't starve." "That's funny," he replied. "I thought we could." [Chuck Jones, "Chuck Amuck," 1989]
“一天,我們因爲飢餓而有點虛弱,於是我和我的室友屈服於竊盜行徑。一輛蔬菜商的貨車停在街邊,沒有人看管。我們抓起了第一箱可得的物品,結果發現是芹菜。兩天來,我們什麼都沒吃除了芹菜,卻耗費了更多的熱量咀嚼,使身體更加能量透支。“該死,”我對室友說,“我們該怎麼辦?我們不能餓死。”“這很有趣,”他回答道,“我原本以爲我們能。”[查克·瓊斯,“查克瘋狂了”,1989]
