When Professor Randy Pausch took a month off work for his honeymoon, his boss at Carnegie Mellon University insisted that he be reachable. So he recorded a message for when people tried to call. On it he explained that he’d waited until 39 to get married. Then he gave the names of his new in-laws and the town they lived in, so a caller could get their number from directory assistance. Then, lastly: “If you can convince my in-laws that your emergency merits interrupting their only daughter’s honeymoon, they have our number.”
当兰迪•波许(Randy Pausch)教授为了度蜜月而休假一个月时，他在卡内基梅隆大学(Carnegie Mellon University)的老板坚持要能联系上他。因此，他为打电话找他的人录了一段语音留言。在留言中，他解释说，自己一直等到39岁才结婚。然后，他说出了自己岳父母的名字及他们居住的小镇，这样来电者可以从查号服务台查到他们的电话号码。最后他说：“如果你能说服我岳父母，你的紧急情况值得打断他们的独女的蜜月，他们有我们的电话。”
