IJMC What A Night

                       IJMC - What A Night

Fourteen and a half hours of sleep and three and a quarter James Bond 
films later, I'm feeling much better. My Bondathon II is well in progress 
and tomorrow only looks to be better...after a little more sleep. So, 
enjoy this simple tale and I will visit again tomorrow night.       -dave







A nice Jewish girl brings home her fiancee to meet her parents. After
dinner, her mother tells her father to find out about the young man. He
invites the fiancee to his study for schnapps. 

"So what are your plans?" the father asks the fiancee.

"I am a Torah scholar," he replies.

"A Torah scholar." the father says. "Admirable, but what will you do to
provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, as she's accustomed to?" 

"I will study," the young man replies, "and God will provide for us." 

"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she
deserves?" asks the father. 

"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replies, "God will
provide for us." 

"And children?" asks the father. "How will you support children?" 

"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the fiancee.

The conversation proceeds like this, and each time the father questions,
the fiancee insists that God will provide. 

Later, the mother asks "So? How did it go?"

The father answers, "He has no job and no plans. But the good news is, he
thinks I'm God."
