Ehem...

After collecting foreskins for 25 years, the mohel had taken his collection to the local saddlemaker and asked him to make something from the skins to commemorate his years of service. The craftsman, even though it was an odd request, took the Rabbis tips and told him to come back in a week.
A week passed and the mohel returned to the tannery where the saddlemaker handed him a small wallet.
"What is this?!" cried the Rabbi "Twenty five years I collect the foreskins of the Jewish males and you make me a trifold wallet?!"



"Relax" said the craftsman "If you rub it, it turns into three pieces of matched luggage!"
