Moishe (the father) says to his son: “I want you to marry a girl of my choice”. The son says: “I will choose my own bride”.
Moishe says: “But the girl is Bill Gates’ daughter”.
The son answers: “Well, in that case, yes ok”.
Moishe then approaches Bill Gates and says: “I have a husband for your daughter”.
Bill Gates answers: “But my daughter is too young to get married”!
Moishe says: “But this young man is a vice-president of the World Bank”.
Bill Gates answers: “Ah, in that case, yes ok”.
Finally Moishe goes to see the president of the World Bank. Moishe says: “I have a young man to be recommended as a vice-president”.
The president answers: “But I already have more vice-presidents than I need”.
Moishe says: “But this young man is Bill Gates’ son-in-law”.
The President answers: “Ah, in that case, yes ok.”
And that is how successful Jews do business…
