老董：是啊，是啊！可像我这样的人怎么减肥都没用。

爱人：那也得想办法減。如果不减肥，你会得很多病的。

老董：你看这广告！“减肥灵”，新产品。要不，我试试？

爱人：我看哪，这些药都没什么用。

老薰：你说得太绝对了吧。

爱人：那你说为什么现在的胖子一天比一天多。

老董：既然吃药也没用，那就算了。

爱人：不行。从明天起，不许你坐电梯了，每天爬楼梯！

老王：这不是老董吗？怎么，电梯坏了？

老董：不是，我现在开始減肥了。来，抽一支。

老王：不不不。万一让我爱人知道了，就麻烦了。

老董：怎么连你也成了 “妻管严”？

老王：你别说我了，你天天爬楼梯減肥，肯定也是你爱人的主意。

老黄：这谁都知道，她是为我好，怕我得病。

老王：我爱人也是一样啊！我得回去了，你慢慢爬吧。

老董：累死我了，我得先抽一支，歇一会儿。
