Time for a Chuckle

A tailor was having a terrible time making a living.  He went to his rabbi asking his advice.  After thoughtful consideration the rabbi said, “You need a partner.”


"But I have had partners before and they have never worked out.”


"Not that type of partner,” responded the rabbi.


And so next year the tailor opened a new shop called HaShem and Shapiro. Business flourished.

 

Soon Shapiro decided to move the store from the Lower East Side to uptown. Along with the move, he changed the name to be more upscale as well, Lord and Taylor.

“Between 1305 and the early 1800’s. the House of Taxis ran a form of pony express service all over Europe….   Its couriers clad in blue and silver uniforms, crisscrossed the continent carrying messages between princes and generals, merchants and money lenders.” –Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave We may think we are the first generation consumed by rapid communication but we are not.   Throughout our history it has been a priority. Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
