Caveat Emptor

A man with a few yards of material went to a tailor to ask him to make a suit.
“No,” said the tailor after looking at the cloth.
So he went to another tailor who told him that was sufficient.  The next week he returned for the suit and saw the tailor’s son wearing a suit made of his cloth.
”Nu?” said the man. “How come the other tailor said he did not have enough and you made a suit for me and your son?”
”That’s simple,” replied the tailor.  “I have one son.  He has two.”


Buyer, beware.

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
