Raccoons

Part of my job at the state fish and wildlife department is to lend equipment to residents for trapping and relocating raccoons. A man who had been successful at capturing one of the animals called to ask whether raccoons mated for life. He said his daughter was worried that they might have separated a monogamous couple.

"I don't know why she's so concerned," he added. "She's been married three times."

我在州政府鱼类和野生动物部门工作时，负责向居民们出借捕浣熊的装备。一个人捕获了一只猎物，他打电话来询问浣熊是否终生只有一个伴侣。他说他的女儿担心他们可能拆散了一对终生伴侣。

“我不知道她为什么这么关心这事，”他补充说，“她自己已经结过三次婚了。”
