A shadchan was discussing a certain young woman with a young
man
“But she is lame,” the fellow complained.
“That is an asset,” the shadchan smiled, “for she won’t be
able to run after you.”
“She is blind,” the chap protested.
“That is just fine.
She won’t see when you go out with other women.”
“But she is mute!”
“So what? I wish my husband would lose his tongue!”
“People whisper that her mother is a wicked women.”
“So? Do you intend on marrying her mother?”
“But she is very ugly.”
“That is good,” the shadchan replied. “You’ll have no fear
that another will snatch her.”
“But she is a hunchback,” the chap groaned.
“You amaze me, young man,” the shadchan ejaculated jumping from
the chair. “Did you want her you be
altogether perfect?”
