Morris and Bernard met in a restaurant for a business lunch. Morris said, “I have a good deal for you, Bernard. When I was in the zoo recently, I happened to pick up an elephant they didn’t need anymore.
I could let you have it for $3,000.”
Bernard sipped his gin and tonic and said, “Morris, what am I going to do with an elephant? I live in a third-floor apartment. I barely have room for my furniture. I can’t even squeeze in a card table. So you think I’m going to buy an elephant?”
Morris said, “I could let you have three of them for two grand.”
“Aha,” said Bernard, “now you’re talking!”
