若いビジネスマンが、自分の会社を始めました。彼は、美しいオフィスを借りて、アンティークの家具を入れました。そうして座っていると、一人の男が外側の部屋に入ってくるのが見えました。彼は、大物に見られたいと考え、電話を取り上げると、大きな仕事があるふりを始めました。巨額の数字を並べたり、大きな約束をしてみたりです。そして、やっとのことで電話を切ると、そのお客さんに「ご用ですか？」と聞きました。その男は言いました。「ええ。電話回線が使えるようにしに来たんですけど。」

No.1 さんの回答で十分説明されていますが、蛇足を少々。 》 Finally he hung up and asked the visitor Finally という語で、創業したてのビジネスマンが、（仕事がすごく順調であるように見せかけるため）、いろいろしゃべりまくった感じがでています。なお、彼が電話機を取ってしゃべりだしたのは、アウターオフィスに入ってきた男に聞かせるためです he hung up → 「電話機を置いた」とすると、ジョークの意味が分りやすいかと思います。

Having not eaten for several weeks,he was a little hungry.He had an old,dry piece of bread in his pocket which he had scrounged from a hardware store he would soon pass,and he was saving it for the right moment.Now that moment had come. Just beside the road,there was a hamburger store.The delicious smell of beef,onions and lettuce wafted through the closed window to where the poor man was standing.He sat sat down on a toadstool and began to eat his sandwich. When he had finished eating,he stood up and began to walk away.The owner of the hamburger store came running out,shouting "Hey!You haven't paid for your hamberger."The poor man answered with indignation "What humburger?I don't eat any hamburgers."The store owner replied "No but you smelled them while you were eating,that's nearly the same thing.Pay up or I'll call the cops." The poor man didn't want any trouble,so he said"OK,I admit I did smell one.How much are they?""85 cents,"replied the store owner.The poor man took out a dollar bill and shook it loudly."Did you hear that?"he asked."That was a dollar bill.Now where's my change?"
