Moishe and Miriam Epstein were having a terrible disagreement over what to do with their backyard patio. Miriam had grand ideas about renovations including a new deck and BBQ, while Moishe wanted costs kept to a minimum. Miriam won out, and the construction bill kept climbing higher and higher.
One day, when the patio was near completion, the Epstein’s neighbor Phil Fine was surprised to find Moishe smiling from ear to ear as the workmen smoothed over the surface.
“Moishe, it’s nice to see you smiling. I guess you’ve come around on the renovation?” asked Phil.
“Not exactly,” replied Moishe.
“So why the smile?”
"You see where they're smoothing that cement?" Moishe replied. "I just threw my wife's credit cards in there."
