Gimpel Beynish the Matchmaker
(Gimpl Beynish der Shadkhn)
Yiddish Comics of the early 20th century

1. GB: How can I make you a respectable match when you go around dressed like a slob? Who would want you this way?
   
2. Mirke: Maybe he's actually right. If you want to be counted among the respectable people, you need to behave the way they do. I am absolutely not stylish.
   
3. Mirke: Somebody like her would have no trouble at all getting a bridegroom. The boys would die for such a girl.
   
4. Mirke: But when you have money you can become anything. I'll beat her ("to pieces"). So - stylish? Let there be style.
   
5. GB: Gevald, go to the circus among the wild animals or if not that, go back where you came from.
