> About Jesus & Finkelstein
>
> 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 but Finkelstein brushed him
> off: "No, no, no, for the Son of God? There's 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.
>
> LORD & TAYLOR
