Moshe is waiting on the platform at the
station. He notices a Jewish man
standing nearby and asks him for the
time. But the man ignores him. Moshe
then asks him again, and the man
responds in the same way.
Frustrated, Moshe asks "Excuse me,
but I've asked you for the time twice,
why are you ignoring me"
Suddenly, the man looks up and says,
"We're both waiting for the train, if I
answer you, then when we get on the
train you will come and sit next to me,
we will probably start talking, and I may
invite you to my house for Shabbat,
there you will meet my daughter, you
will probably like her, you may
eventually want to marry her, and to be
honest with you, WHY WOULD I WANT
A SON IN LAW WHO CAN'T AFFORD
A WATCH?"
