A first for me: a joke!

Every once in a blue moon, someone in my family will send me a good joke. This one's from Dad.


Subject: MARKETING

Two beggars are sitting side by side on a street in Rome. One has a
cross in front of him. The other one the Star of David.
Many people go by and look at both beggars, but only put money into the
hat of the beggar sitting behind the cross. A priest comes by, stops and
watches throngs of people giving money to the beggar behind the cross,
but none give to the beggar behind the Star of David.
Finally, the priest goes over to the beggar behind the Star of David and
says: "My poor fellow, don't you understand? This is a Catholic country.
People aren't going to give you money if you sit there with a Star of
David in front of you, especially when you're sitting beside a beggar
who has a cross. In fact, they would probably give to him just out of
spite."
The beggar behind the 'Star of David' listened to the priest, turned to
the other beggar with the cross and said: "Moishe, look who's trying to
teach the Goldstein brothers about marketing."
