Jesus was Passing Finkelsteiin's when he noticed that
his robe was looking ungodly.
He went into Finkelstein's, was measured, and was en
route out when he asked Abraham Finkelstein what the
cost would be.
"For you," said Finkelstein, "no charge, but I would
appreciate a favor."
"What favor?"
"When you address the masses, please mention
where you got your robe."
"Deal," said Jesus.
Some time later, Jesus was passing Finkelstein's and
saw a long line out the door and around the corner.
(Blocks had not yet been invented.)
Jesus went in to congratulate Abraham and was taken
aback when Abraham proposed a partnership. Jesus was
so flustered that he said, "Yes" before he considered
the consequences.
But the proposed partnership seemed unworkable as one
name after another was tried without sounding the
right way:
Jesus & Abraham...
Abraham & Jesus...
Christ & Finklestein...
Finkelstein & Christ...
The whole thing was about to founder, when they
simultaneously thought of the same perfect firm name,
and the rest is history...
... Lord & Taylor!
