Joke

Moskowitz met Finklestein on the street one day and said, "Finkelstein, have I got a bargain for you! An elephant! A whole living elephant for just one hundred dollars."

Finklestein said, "Are you crazy? What do I want with an elephant?"

"It's a beautiful elephant," continues Moskowitz, "all grey, ten feet tall, complete with a trunk."

"But I have nothing to feed it on," cried Finkelstein. "I live in a three-room apartment. I have no place to put it in."

But Moskowitz went on: "Two beautiful tusks, maybe two feet long. It is a magnificent beast. They don't make them like that anymore."

"Moskowitz," said Finkelstein, almost screaming, "I have a three-room walk-up apartment on the fifth floor. Where will I keep an elephant?"

"You are a hard man, Finkelstein," said Moskowitz. "I will tell you what, I will throw in a second whole elephant for only $50 extra."

Finkelstein smiled and said, "Now you are talking!"
