Chaim Yankel got a job at an economy motel working at the front desk. A guest checking in, a Mr. John Robinson ordered a 6 a.m. wake-up call. The next morning, Mr. Robinson awoke before 6, but Chaim Yankel didn’t call until 6:30.
"Good morning," Chaim Yankel said sheepishly. "This is your wake-up call."
Annoyed, Mr. Robinson let Chaim Yankel have it. "You were supposed to call me at 6!" he complained. "What if I had a million-dollar deal to close this morning, and your oversight made me miss out on it?"
"Well, sir," said Chaim Yankel, "if you had a million-dollar deal to close, you wouldn't be staying in this motel."
