Tanner's Father: One hundred years ago, William Gladstone, after a particularly acrimonious debate in Parliament, bellowed across the floor at his arch-rival Benjamin Disraeli, "You, sir," he said, "will one day end your days on the gallows or of venereal disease." Disraeli raised himself up and replied, "That, sir, would depend on whether I embrace your principles or your mistress."
Alex Tanner: Grandpa!
Tanner's Father: I tell this humorous story because it hasn't been altogether clear to me this past year exactly what my son is embracing.
Jack Tanner: Dad! |
譚能的父親：一百年前，威廉•格雷斯通在國會剛經過一場特別尖銳的辯論之後，對著大廳對面他的死對頭班傑明•迪斯瑞里大聲咆哮說：「先生，我告訴你，你將來要不是死刑被吊死就是會得性病不得好死。」迪斯瑞里緩緩站起身來回應說：「先生，那要看我到底是擁抱你的原則還是你的情人才知道。」
亞樂士•譚能：祖父！
譚能的父親：我講這個幽默的故事是因為我一直不是很清楚，在過去這幾年，我兒子究竟擁抱的是什麼？
傑克•譚能（總統候選人）：爸！ |
