59 to draw the short straw
Если вы draw the short straw (вытащили коротенькую соломинку), значит вам предстоит выполнить неприятную обязанность или задание. Одним из способов решения спора о том, кто должен выполнить неприятную работу, является следующий: берутся соломинки по количеству возможных исполнителей и укорачивается одна из них. Тот человек, который вытаскивает из пучка короткую соломинку, становится исполнителем дела. Эта фраза всё ещё употребляется, хотя соломинки уже никто не тянет, кроме, может быть, школьников.Someone has to tell John that the firm is dispensing with his services and it looks as though I've drawn the short straw. — Кто-то же должен сказать Джону, что фирма больше не нуждается в его услугах и, по-видимому, это «счастье» выпало мне.
