god will provide

A young woman brings home
her fiancee to meet her
parents. After dinner, her
mother tells her father to
find out about the young
man. The father invites the
fiancee to his study for a
drink.
"So what are your plans?"
the father asks the young
man.
"I am a Torah scholar," he
replies.
"A Torah scholar. Hmmm,"
the father says. "Admirable,
but what will you do to
provide a nice house for my
daughter to live in, as she's
accustomed to?"
"I will study," the young man
replies, "and God will provide
for us."
"And how will you buy her a
beautiful engagement ring,
such as she deserves?"
asks the father.
"I will concentrate on my
studies," the young man
replies, "God will provide for
us."
"And children?" asks the
father. "How will you support
children?"
"Don't worry, sir, God will
provide," replies the fiancee.
The conversation proceeds
like this, and each time the
father questions, the young
idealist insists that God will
provide.
Later, the mother asks,
"How did it go, Honey?"
The father answers, "He has
no job and no plans, but the
good news is he thinks I'm
God."
