An elderly man walked into a menswear/tailor shop and asked for a tailor to make him a suit. "I'm sorry, sir, but I am about to go on holiday and cannot make a new suit for you in the next few weeks. But perhaps I can interest you in an off the shelf one?"
The customer is steered to the rack where there is only one suit left. "But that looks awfully big?", he says.
"Try it on and we will see what we can do quickly"
The customer puts it on but it is clear the sleeves are too long, the legs too and the shoulders so broad that they slip down.
"Ah... OK, let's see what we can do... Now bend your knees a bit... yes, like that... yes, that is better! Now just hunch over like this... yes, the shoulders are not slipping off anymore... Excellent! And now raise your arms a little and bend them here... put that one in the left pocket... Yes! That looks just fine! What do you say now?"
The elderly man has some misgivings but buys the suit anyway and walks out wearing it.
Across the other side of the street, two friends are walking along and one says to the other, "Hey, isn't that Moshe walking on the other side?"
"You mean the old guy stooping and bent over in a lopsided manner and shuffling along?"
"Yes, that does look like Moshe... he looks so sick!"
"Yes, he does, poor old guy. But you have to admit... that suit looks so smart and fits him so very well!"
