Cohen, a
shopkeeper, called up a manufacturer to order more goods.
“Listen Cohen,” the manufacturer shouted, “You already owe
me for the two last orders – and now you have the chutzpah to call in another order for merchandise? You should be one hundred percent ashamed!
You think I’m in business for love?”
Cohen pleaded ad explained that he would send a check for
his total indebtedness the following day.
“I’m gonna borrow from my wife’s insurance. Listen, you’ll get a check absolutely in
tomorrow’s mail!”
The manufacturer relented and said, “Okay – I’ll ship the order.”
Then he relaxed for a minute and said, “You know, Cohen, I wish I had a hundred
customers like you!”
Cohen was stunned, here he was insulted and all of a sudden
he I complimented, so he asked, “Listen, first you complained about me and then
you say you wish you had a hundred customers like me. How come?”
The manufacturer sighed, “Cohen, let me tell you I really
wish I had a hundred customers like you – the trouble is I have about three
hundred!”
