A tourist in a strange town notices that her watch is broken. She starts
|
|
looking for a repair shop. After a long and frustrating search she
|
|
finds herself in an area where many shop signs are in Hebrew. Finally,
|
|
she notices that one of the stores has all kinds of clocks and watches
|
|
ticking merrily in the window. She walks into the shop and puts her watch
|
|
on the counter in front of the proprietor.
|
|
|
|
Tourist: "would you please repair this watch."
|
|
|
|
Proprietor: "Madam, I cannot repair your watch."
|
|
|
|
T: "But why not? It is an ordinary model"
|
|
|
|
P: "Madam, I do not repair watches. I am a moel, I perform circumcisions"
|
|
|
|
T (irritated): "Then why on earth do you have all these clocks in your window?"
|
|
|
|
P: "Well, and what should I have in my window?"
