A man of a particular ethnic persuasion was having a disussion with his young son concerning ethics. The son asked him what is meant by the term "moral dilemma". The father answered as follows:

"Abie my son, you know that your Uncle Herbie and I are partners in a clothing store on the lower east side?"

"Yes Pappa, a fine store it is!" replied the son.

"Well son, here's an example of a moral dilemma. Imagine a rich shiksah from the upper east side comes into our store and buys a hat for her husband."

"OK Pappa."

"Now imagine the hat costs $40."

"Oh pappa, that is an expensive hat!"

"Yes Abie, it is. Now imagine the woman pays with two twenty dollar bills and leaves with her purchase."

"Oh Pappa, I do hope she comes again!!"

"Yes my son. Now Abie, imagine that as you put the money in the cash register you notice that there's a $100 bill stuck between the twenties."

"Oi gevald Pappa, how could that be??!"

"Yes my son, it is terrible. And now here's the dilemma: Do you tell your Uncle Herbie about the extra 100?"

Yiddish word for a non-Jewish woman, somewhat less than complementary, sometimes spelled shiksa.

I suspect he meant:

shik·sa
n. Offensive
Used as a disparaging term for a non-Jewish girl or woman.

If the Lord is going to send me to Hell for being dishonest, it is going to be for a lot more than $10. I'd give it back. Now if the winning lottery ticket was inside ...

If you give back the extra fin, what do you do with the other $5? ;)


He applied the conversion rate and it came out 5 ;)

NOTE: Edited to fix a spelling error. :D

Good ole' honest Abe from Illinois. :(

I've thought a lot of things about you. But I never thought that you were dishonest. Guess I was wrong.

Come on now Tony - you know it's just that things are different in Chicago than they are anywhere else...it's a regional thing!

Unless there is a contract, I do not look at my money. If you think it is dishonest, so what.

Peace

If you really think this then why reply? If you want us to believe that you do not look at the money then what would you do when you got home and found the error?

Another old joke:

Man to woman: "My lady, would you agree to sleep with me for a million dollars?"

Woman: "Why, yes, I believe I would."

Man: "Would you agree to sleep with me for five dollars?"

Woman (indignantly): "What kind of woman do you think I am?!?!"

Man: "I thought we'd already established that, and are now merely haggling over the price!"

Probably out in the middle of the Carribean somewhere goofing off.

That's where I thought the other joke was going. ^

Have you ever heard of the phrase "because I can?"

There is nothing anyone is going to do but run their mouth.

Oh yes, that old attitude of "it\'s not dishonest if nobody finds out about it." Consider the source, no surprise.
