英語ジョークです。著作権を気にしてこれまでサイトのＵＲＬを貼っていたのですが、あちこちに同じ話が掲載されており、問題なさそうなので、今回直接書き込みにしてみます。

３５年もの間同じ地域の郵便配達をしていた人の退職日の出来事の話です。「落ち」を読んで笑えなかった方がいれば、解説します。

退職日にプレゼント、というのは少し奇異な感じがする方もいらっしゃるかもしれませんが、例えばイギリスはクリスマス翌日の２６日に、郵便やさんに一年の感謝を込めて、多少の額を包む習慣がありますし、フランスでも年末に似たようなことをするという話を聞いたことがあります。

It was the mailman's last day on the job after 35 years of carrying the mail through all kinds of weather to the same neighborhood. When he arrived at the first house on his route he was greeted by the whole family there, who congratulated him and sent him on his way with a big gift envelope.

At the second house they presented him with a box of fine cigars. The folks at the third house handed him a selection of terrific fishing lures.

At the fourth house he was met at the door by a strikingly beautiful woman in a revealing negligee. She took him by the hand, gently led him through the door (which she closed behind him), and led him up the stairs to the bedroom where she blew his mind with the most passionate love he had ever experienced. When he had had enough they went downstairs, where she fixed him a giant breakfast: eggs, potatoes, ham, sausage, blueberry waffles, and fresh-squeezed orange juice. When he was truly satisfied she poured him a cup of steaming coffee. As she was pouring, he noticed a dollar bill sticking out from under the cup's bottom edge.

"All this was just too wonderful for words," he said, "but what's the dollar for?"

"Well," she said, "last night, I told my husband that today would be your last day, and that we should do something special for you. I asked him what to give you."

"He said, 'Fuck him, give him a dollar.'" The lady then said, "The breakfast was my idea."
