Reuven and Shimon met for lunch. Reuven thanked Shimon for joining him and disclosed that he wanted to see him to personally tell him that he was getting divorced. “I’m stunned,” said Shimon. “Your wife seems like such a kind, generous woman.” Reuven pointed to his shoes. “You see my shoes,” he said. “They look great, don’t they?” Shimon agreed that they did. “But what does that have to do with your getting a divorce?” he asked. “Well,” said Reuven, “I’m with them the whole day and I know how worn out they are, how they pinch my toes and the pain they give me each day.”
