An American History Discussion Group
In an American history discussion group, the professor
was trying to explain how societies’ ideal of beauty
changes with time.
“For example, he said, “take the 1921 Miss America.
She stood five ft., one inch tall, weighed 108 pounds
and had measurements of 30-25-32. How do you think
she’d do in today’s version of the contest?”
The class fell silent for a moment. Then one student
piped up, “Not very well.”
“Why is that?” asked the professor.
“For one thing,” the student pointed out, “She’d be
way too old.”

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.”
