Matchmaker Matchmaker

Morris the matchmaker approached a single woman and told her he had a husband for her.

“I’m ashamed to bring this up,” he said, “but the man wants to be sure you are compatible in bed. He wants, he says, ‘a sample’.”

The woman was shocked. “Such a thing you ask a virtuous woman? Such a crude person would suggest such a thing? He must be a barnyard animal, not a gentleman!”

The matchmaker, trying to earn a fee, said, “He’s a business man. He buys goods in the market and he sells goods. By him, it’s not a big deal…a sample.”

She thought a minute.

Then she said, “He’s a business man? So tell him I don’t give samples. If he wants, I can give him references.”
