Just thinking: there is no way I would let a shadchan make that kind of cash off me. I would insist before going out with anyone on the list that I get a very large cut of that money.
Look how brilliant I am.
Shadchan: go out with shprintzy.
Popa: ok. Is she on the list?
shadchan: not telling.
popa: ok, then I’ll go ask a different shadchan
shadchan: she’s on the list.
popa: If we get engaged, I want the money. all of it.
shadchan: no.
popa: ok, forget it. I’ll go out with my chavrusah’s niece.
shadchan: that’s retarded, if you want to go out with this one, you should
popa: you’re a retard; I don’t care which one i go out with.
shadchan: how about you get 90%? That’s a lot of money.
popa: 92% and we’ve got a deal.
shadchan and popa draw up a contract, and drink a l’chaim. Shadchan got more money than otherwise, and popa got a free drink.
