MORRIS
Morris, a bit of a dumkop if truth be known, is a single guy and spends 10 hours a day, 6 days a week standing behind his market stall selling books. And after 3 years of doing this without any time off, he starts to suffer from very painful feet. So he goes to doctor Myers for help.
"Your problem," says doctor Myers, "is caused by all the standing you do. I strongly suggest that you go to Miami as soon as possible for a holiday. And whilst there, you must regularly soak both your feet in the Ocean water. If you do this for a week, your feet will definitely recover."
Morris takes doctor Myers' advice seriously. As soon as he arrives at his Miami hotel, he buys 2 large plastic buckets, one for each foot. Then, first thing the next morning, with his buckets in his hands, he heads for the sandy beach.
Once there, he goes over to a lifeguard, points to the ocean and asks, "How much do you charge for two buckets of that Ocean water?"
The lifeguard can't believe what he has just heard, so replies, "Our current rate is $2 per bucket."
Morris pays the money, fills his buckets with Ocean water, returns to his hotel room and soaks his feet for an hour and a half. It was so lovely that he decides to do it again. After lunch, he empties his buckets and once again takes them to the beach. He goes over to the lifeguard, hands over $4 and says, "Same again please."
"Thank you," says the lifeguard, just managing to hold back his laughter, "just help yourself."
But when Morris turns around, he can't help noticing that the tide is out. So he says to the lifeguard, "Oy, have you got a good business here! You've sold out already."
