young woman brings home her fiancae to meet her parents.
After dinner, her mother tells her father to find out
about the young man. The father invites the fiancae to
his study for a drink.
"So what are your plans?" the father asks the young man.
"I am a Torah scholar," he replies.
"A Torah scholar. Hmm." the father says. "Admirable, but
what will you do to provide a nice house for my
daughter to live in as she's accustomed to?"
"I will study," the young man replies, "and God will
provide for us."
"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring such
as she deserves?" asks the father.
"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replies,
"and God will provide for us."
"And children?" asks the father. "How will you support
children?"
"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the fiancée.
The conversation proceeds like this, and each time the
father questions, the young idealist insists that God
will provide.
Later, the mother asks, "How did it go, honey?"
The father answers, "He has no job and no plans, but the
good news is he thinks I'm God."
