A lawyer and an engineer were fishing in the Caribbean. The lawyer said, "I'm here because my house burned down, and the insurance company paid for everything."
 
"That's quite a coincidence," said the engineer. "I'm here because my house were destroyed by a flood, and my insurance company also paid for everything."
 
The lawyer looked somewhat1 confused. "How do you start a flood?" he asked.

“这太巧了,”工程师说,“我是因为房子被洪水冲垮了,保险公司也赔偿了所有的损失。”
 
律师看起来有些困惑,“你是怎么引起洪水的?”他不解的问。
