Joke: The Bride and the Bracelet

نكتة: العروس والسوار

★ Said the new bride, gazing into a jeweler's shop window:

"Farid, I love that bracelet."

"I cannot buy it for you, my dear."

"But you would buy it if you could, wouldn't you?"

He answered loftily: "No." She was astonished, then asked him crossly:

"Why?"

"Because it is not worthy of your beautiful wrist, my dear!"
