Crozboz told me this joke, I really hope he won't mind me sharing it...
A man is randomly in a fabric shop one day and spots the most handsome woollen blend he has ever seen - unfortunately, there is not a lot left. Unperturbed, he buys up the last bit, and takes it to a Jewish tailors. He asks the tailor, "is there enough here to make me a suit?"
After measuring him up and measuring the cloth, the tailor frowns and tells him unfortunately there is not.
Saddened, the man takes his wonderful fabric and leaves. On the way home he decides to try one more tailor's shop for a second opinion. This time, the tailor measures him and says "almost certainly!" Smiling, the man is measured up and told to return in two weeks.
When he returns to collect his garments, he sees his suit hanging up - immaculate workmanship, a picture of masculine elegance. Not only that, but the tailor proudly presents his four year old son, who is wearing an exact replica of the same suit made out of the remnants of the fabric!
Obviously pleased, the man stops in at the Jewish tailor's shop to have a word. "You said there wasn't enough fabric here, but the tailor down the street not only made me this wonderful suit, but made one for his four year old son from the same cloth! How do you explain that?!"
The tailor looks at him wistfully and replies, "my son's twelve."
Heh heh. A joke of course, I have nothing against the Jewish... although recently in the news there was the unfortunate rabbi who botched a circumcision...
he got the sack.
Of course, being a rabbi isn't such a bad job... you get to keep the tips...
