Don't read the end until you've read the whole thing (yeah, right, like I could keep any of you gals and guys from looking ahead).
Jesus was wandering around Jerusalem when He decided that He really needed a new
robe.
After looking around for a while, He saw a sign for Finkelstein, the Tailor. So, He went in and made the
necessary arrangements to have Finkelstein prepare a new robe for Him.
A few days later, when the robe was finished, Jesus tried it on and it was a perfect fit!
He asked how much He owed. Finkelstein brushed him off: "No, no, no, for the Son of God?
Theres no charge! However, may I ask for a small favor? Whenever you give a sermon,
perhaps you could just mention that your nice new robe was made by Finkelstein, the
Tailor?"
Jesus readily agreed and as promised, extolled the virtues of His Finkelstein robe whenever He spoke to
the masses.
A few months later, while Jesus was again walking through Jerusalem, He happened to walk past
Finkelstein's shop and noted a huge line of people waiting for Finkelstein's robes.
He pushed his way through the crowd to speak to him and as soon as Finkelstein spotted Him he
said: "Jesus, Jesus, look what you've done for my business! Would you consider a partnership?"
"Certainly," replied Jesus. "Jesus & Finkelstein it is."
"Oh, no, no," said Finkelstein.
"Finkelstein & Jesus. After all, I am the craftsman."
The two of them debated this for some time.
Their discussion was long and spirited, but ultimately fruitful and they finally came up with a mutually
acceptable compromise. A few days later, the new sign went up over Finkelstein's shop.
Can you guess what it read??
Are you sure you want to know?
Here it
comes...
Don't say you
weren't warned...
Lord &
Taylor
DON'T WHINE &
MOAN -
YOU KNOW YOU'LL PASS IT
on!
