פסחים-פט

At the last שבע ברכות for his daughter and new son-in-law, a businessman told the young man how happy he was to have him join the family.  He considered him like a son and was making him a 50-50 partner in the business.  “All you have to do is go to the factory each day and manage the operations,” he said.  “I hate factories,” the son-in-law said.  “I can’t stand the noise.”  A bit surprised, the father-in-law offered “Well, you can work in the office and oversee sales.”  The ungrateful son-in-law replied “I hate office work.  I don’t want to sit behind a desk all day.”  Shocked, the father-in-law said:  “I just made you a partner in the business and you tell me you don’t like factories and you don’t want to work in the office.  What am I going to do with you?”  “Easy,” said the young man.  “Buy me out.”
