The matchmaker approached a single woman and told her he had a husband for her.
“I’m ashamed to bring this up, “he said, “but the man wants to be sure you are compatible in bed. He wants, he says, a sample. “
The woman was shocked. “Such a thing you ask a Christian virtuous woman? Such a crude person would suggest such a thing? He must be a barnyard animal, not a gentleman. “
The matchmaker, trying to earn a fee, said, “He’s a pragmatic man. After all, to him it’s not a big deal… just a sample. “
She thought for a minute. “A pragmatic man, is he? So tell him I don’t give samples. I can give him 50 or 60 references, if he wants, though. “
