Jumping Up and Down
A pharmacist looks out the front of the store and
sees a woman holding a bottle jumping up and
down in the parking lot.
The pharmacist walks out to the parking lot and
asks the woman, “Whats the matter?”
She replies ” I saw that it says ‘Shake Well’ only
after I took it …”

The Poor Tailor
Old Abraham was a poor tailor whose shop was next
door to a very upscale French restaurant. Every day at
lunch time, Abraham would go out the back of his shop
and eat his black bread and herring while smelling the
wonderful odors coming from the restaurant’s kitchen.
One day, Abraham was surprised to receive an invoice
from the restaurant for ‘enjoyment of food’. So he went
to the restaurant to point out that he had not bought
anything from them. The manager said, “You’re enjoying
our food, so you should pay us for it.”
Abraham refused to pay and the restaurant sued him.
At the hearing, the judge asked the restaurant to present
their side of the case. The manager said, “Every day,
this man comes and sits outside our kitchen and smells
our food while eating his. It is clear that we are providing
added value to his poor food and we deserve to be
compensated for it.”
The judge turns to Abraham and said, “What do you
have to say to that?”
Abraham didn’t say anything but stuck his hand in his
pocket and rattled the few coins he had inside.
The judge asked him, “What is the meaning of that?”
Abraham replied, “I’m paying for the smell of his food
with the sound of my money.”
