A שדכן approached a young man with an offer of a שידוך. The young man said: “Why do you keep coming back to me? I’ve told you a hundred and one times that I don’t want to marry someone suggested by a שדכן. I want to marry for love.” The שדכן replied: “I heard you loud and clear. The father of the girl I have in mind is seventy and is rich as קורח. She is an only child. And she has an uncle who is just as wealthy and he doesn’t have any heirs other than her. Now, you tell me, how could you not love a girl like that?”
