Torah Scholar

A young woman brings home her fianc? to meet her parents. After dinner,
her mother tells her father to find out about the young man. The father invites
the fiance 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 how will you provide a home 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 fiance. The conversation proceeds
like this, and each time the father asks a question, 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."
