Morris the matchmaker told a single woman he had found her a husband.

"I'm sorry to bring this up," he said, "but he wants to make sure that you are compatible in bed. He has asked for... a 'sample.'"

The woman was shocked. "Such a thing you ask a virtuous woman? Such a crude person would suggest such a thing? He's no gentleman. What kind of a woman does he think I am?"

The matchmaker, struggling not to lose his fee, said, "He's a businessman. He buys goods, he sells goods. To him, it's no big deal... just a sample."

She thought a moment. "So he's a businessman, eh? Then tell him I don't give samples. But if he wants, I can give him fifty references!"
