The Mezuzah and the Decorator

A wealthy Jewish man buys a fabulous home in Beverly Hills, California. He brings in a local workman to decorate the place. When the job is finished, the homeowner is delighted. He goes out and buys 50 mezuzahs and asks the decorator to place them on the right hand side of each door except bathrooms and closets. He's really worried that the decorator will chip the paintwork or won't put them up correctly. However, when he comes back a few hours later, he sees that the job has been carried out to his total satisfaction. He's so pleased that he gives the decorator a bonus.

As the decorator is walking out of the door he says, "Glad you're happy with the job...." "By the way, I took out all the warranties in the little boxes and left them on the table for you!"
