| Morris the matchmaker approached a single woman and told her he had a husband for her. "I'm ashamed to bring this up," he said, "but the man wants to be sure you are compatible in bed. He wants, he says, a sample." The woman was shocked, "Such a thing you ask an orthodox virtuous woman? Such a crude person would suggest such a thing? He must be a barnyard animal, not a gentleman." The matchmaker, trying to earn a fee, said, "He's a business man. He buys goods in the market and he sells goods.By him, it's not a big deal... just a sample." She thought a minute. "He's a business man? So tell him I don't give samples. If he wants, I can give him 50 or 60 references." |
