TALE

A JEWISH PROPRIETOR IS LAYING ON HIS DEATH BED AND
HIS WIFE, SONS, DAUGHTERS, GRANDCHILDREN ALL COME
IN TO SEE HIM. HE TALKS TO THEM FOR A WHILE WEAKLY,
BUT THEN HE REALIZES THAT HIS WHOLE FAMILY IS THERE
BY HIS SIDE. HE SITS UP SUDDENLY AND SAYS, "SO,
WHO'S MINDING THE STORE?"

Submitter comment: HEARD IT FROM A FRIEND.
