... oder, was soll´s, wir zahlen einfach.
Vielleicht so?

----------------------------------
Old Abraham was a poor tailor whose shop was next
door
to a very upscale French restaurant.
Every day at lunch time, Abraham would go out the
back of his shop
and eat his black bread and herring
while smelling the wonderful aromas coming from
the restaurant´s kitchen.

One day, Abraham was surprised to receive an
invoice
from the restaurant for ´enjoyment of food´.
He made a trip to the restaurant to point out that
he had not bought anything from them.

The manager said, "You´re enjoying our food,
so you should pay us for it."

Abraham refused to pay and the restaurant sued
him.

At the hearing, the judge asked the restaurant to
present their side of the case.

The manager said, "Every day, this man comes, sits
outside our kitchen
and smells our food while eating his.
It is clear that we are providing added value to
his poor food
and we deserve to be compensated for it."

The judge turns to Abraham and said, "What do you
have to say to that?"

Abraham didn´t say anything but stuck his hand in
his
pocket and rattled the few coins he had inside.

The judge asked him, "What is the meaning of
that?"

Abraham replied, "I´m paying for the smell of his
food
with the sound of my money."
