چکیده
A man tried on a suit in a clothing store. Looking at himself in the mirror, the man observed that the jacket was too long in the back. “No problem,” said the salesman. “Just bend forward a little at the waist.” The man bent forward. The back of the suit now looked fine but he now saw that the left sleeve was a little too short and the right one a little too long. “No problem,” said the salesman again. “Just lift up your left shoulder and lower your right shoulder a little bit.” The man lifted the one shoulder and lowered the other. Now the sleeve lengths were correct but he could see that the right pant leg was too short. “No problem,” said the salesman. “Just lift your right hip up an inch or two.” The man did this and it made the pants perfect. The man bought the suit. One day he walked, in his contorted, twisted posture, past two old ladies sitting on a bench. One of the ladies nudged the other and said quietly, “Did you see that cripple? Oh, how sad.” The other replied, “Yes, but didn't his suit fit well?”
