A man was a butterfingers. He had been unemployed for months.
Finally, he found a job at a chinaware shop. He had worked only a few days when he dropped a large vase.
The manager summoned him to the office and told him that money would be deducted from his wages every week until the vase was paid for.
"How much did it cost?" he asked.
"Five hundred dollars," said the manager.
"Oh, that's wonderful!" he said happily. "I'm so happy that I have got a steady job at last."
