Moishe
the Carpenter, returning home with his week’s wages, was accosted by an armed
robber on a deserted street.
“Take
my money,” said Moishe, “but do me a favour: shoot a bullet through my hat
otherwise my wife won’t believe I was robbed.”
The
robber obliged. He threw Moishe’s hat into the air and put a bullet through it.
“Let’s
make it look as if I ran into a gang of robbers,” said Moishe, “otherwise my
wife will call me a coward! Please shoot a number of holes through my coat.”
So
the robber shot a number of holes through the carpenter’s coat.
“And
now…”
“Sorry,”
interrupted the robber. “No more holes. I’m out of bullets.”
“That’s
all I wanted to know!” said Moishe. “Now hand me back my money and some more
for the hat and coat that you’ve ruined or I’ll beat you black and blue!”
The
robber threw down the money and ran.
Moral of the Story: It’s never too late to use our brains
to get out of a difficult situation!!
