David Berman, who was noted for being a mensch – someone with good manners, was awakened one morning at 4:44 a.m. by his ringing telephone.

"Your dog's barking, and it's keeping me awake," said the angry voice, Morty Himmleman, one of his neighbors.

David thanked Morty for calling and politely hung up the phone.

The next morning at precisely 4:44 a.m., David called Morty back.

"Good morning, Morty. I just called to say that I don't have a dog."
