The madam of a bawdy house answered the ring of the bell and, on opening the door, she found standing there on the threshold, an ancient, bearded gentleman in rabbis garb.

May I come in? asked the rabbi gently in an aged, quavering voice. Feeling a little confused, the madam said, But rabbi, surely you must be in the wrong place. Here is where we …

I know what you do here, interrupted the rabbi. You dont think I came here for chopped liver, do you? Bring on the girls.

Still confused, but understanding her professional duties, the madam had several girls line up. The rabbi tottered from one to another until he reached Rose, a large redhead with enormous breasts. He looked at her with appreciation and pointed, Good! Ill take those.

The rabbi paid out the necessary sum and Rosie led him upstairs. She helped him off with his coat and hung it up carefully on the nail on the door.

Then she helped him off with the rest of his clothes and got into bed. There, to Rosies astonishment, the rabbi performed with an address and a skill that was unbelievable. In fact, Rosie, a hardened professional, found herself surprised into orgasm. As they lay in bed a few minutes afterwards, relaxing, Rosie said, How old are you, Rabbi?

The rabbi said, God has been good to me. I am eighty-eight years old.

That is certainly amazing. Listen, Rabbi, if youre ever in the neighborhood again and if you should feel in the mood, please ask for me – Rosie. I would be delighted to oblige you.

The rabbi said, with a certain hauteur, What do you mean, if I should be in the mood again? Let me sleep for five minutes right now and, believe me, I will be in the mood again.

Really, Rabbi? Then please take a nap.

Okay. The rabbi adjusted himself into a relaxed position, face up, placed his arms across his chest and then said, Wait one minute. This is important. While Im asleep, scoop up my testicles with your right hand and hold them an inch above the sheet, without moving them. Keep them absolutely motionless.

Of course, Rabbi, said Rosie, and did as she was told, holding the rabbis testicles free of the sheet. For five minutes the rabbi slept, then woke with a start and said, Im ready.

And so he was, for, to Rosies delight, he was even better the second time than the first. As she lay panting, Rosie said, It was wonderful, Rabbi, but one thing I dont understand. Why was it necessary to hold your testicles motionless above the sheet while you were sleeping?

Oh that, said the rabbi. Well, you are a nice girl and I like you very much. Still, the truth is I dont know you very well, and over there, in my coat, hanging on the hook on the door, is five hundred dollars.
