*Jesus <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus> was wandering around
Jerusalem<http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=31.7833333333,35.2166666667&spn=0.1,0.1&q=31.7833333333,35.2166666667%20(Jerusalem)&t=h>when
he decided that he really needed a new
robe <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robe>.*
*After looking around for awhile he saw a sign for Finkelstein, the Tailor.
*
*So, he went in and made the necessary arrangements to have Finkelstein
prepare a new robe for him. A few days later, when the robe was finished,
Jesus tried it on -- and it was a perfect fit!*
He asked how much he owed.
*Finkelstein brushed him off: "No, no, for the Son of
God<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_God>there's no charge!
However, may I ask for a small
favor<http://www.amazon.com/Small-Favor-Dresden-Files-Book/dp/0451461894%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dzemanta-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0451461894>.
Whenever you give a sermon, perhaps you could just mention that your nice
new robe was made by Finkelstein, the Tailor?"
*
*Jesus readily agreed and, as promised, extolled the virtues of his
Finkelstein robe whenever he spoke to the masses.*
A few months later, while Jesus was again walking through Jerusalem , he
happened to walk past Finkelstein's shop and noted a huge line of people
waiting for Finkelstein's robes.
He pushed his way through the crowd to speak to him, and as soon as
Finkelstein spotted Jesus he said: "Jesus, Jesus, look what you've done for
my business! Would you consider a partnership?"
"Certainly," replied Jesus. "Jesus & Finkelstein it is."
*"Oh, no," said Finkelstein. "Finkelstein & Jesus. After all... I am the
craftsman."*
*"I understand, Mr. Finkelstein.. but I am the son of God," Jesus replied.*
*
The two of them debated this for some time.
Their discussion was long and spirited, but ultimately fruitful. They
finally came up with a mutually acceptable compromise. A few days later..
the new sign went up over Finkelstein's shop:*
