An elderly Jewish tailor owned a shop next door to a smart French restaurant. Every day at lunchtime, the tailor would go out to the back of his shop and eat his black bread and herring while smelling the wonderful odours coming from the restaurant kitchen. Then one day the tailor was surprised to receive an invoice for $30 for "enjoyment of food over a nine-month period". So he went to the restaurant to point out that he had not actually bought anything from them. But the restaurant manager said: "You're enjoying our food, so you should pay us for it." The tailor refused to pay, and so the restaurant manager sued him. At the hearing, the judge asked the restaurant to present its side of the case. The manager said: "Every day, this man comes and sits outside our restaurant and smells our food while eating his. It is clear that we are providing added value to his poor food and we deserve to be compensated for it." The judge then turned to the tailor and asked: "What do you have to say to that?" The tailor didn't say anything, but instead put his hand in his pocket and rattled the coins inside. "What is the meaning of that?" demanded the judge. The tailor replied: "I'm paying for the smell of his food with the sound of my money." Have you heard about the new Jewish game show on TV? It's called The Price Is Too Much.
