Traveling salesmen make their living visiting as many customers as possible. So speeding to get from one appointment to the next is not unheard of, which is how I got pulled over by a highway patrolman. “Don't you ever look at the speedometer?” the officer scolded. Before I knew it, the truth spilled from my mouth. “As fast as I was going,” I admitted, “I was afraid to take my eyes off the road.”
上门的销售人员就是靠访问尽可能多的客户来谋生,因此在两次约会之间开快车也是家常便饭。我就是这样被高速公路巡警抓到的。警察责备说:“你是不是从来都不看速度表?”我不由自主地吐出了真话:“像我开得那么快,我都不敢让眼睛离开路面。”
