APAD: Save it for a rainy day.

楼主 (文学城)

Meaning: Save it for a time of need.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Most Chinese immigrants born in the 60s and 70s don't need the reminder. My old

friend Bill, for example, is a compulsive saver. He detests waste in all forms

and has found a gold mine of pet peeves in America. He puts all his money in

T-Bills, drives a 210,000-mile Honda, and after 40, stops visiting restaurants

and shopping malls. He saves as if there were no tomorrow. He's been doing it

not for a rainy day but for the next biblical flood!

 

Of course, his house is a dump and he can't find anything when he needs it:-)
