Tanchum, the water carrier, was returning home one evening when a stranger rushed up to him and slapped his face.

"Take that, Meyer!" yelled the attacker.

Tanchum picked himself up from the street and stared at the man in amazement. Suddenly a abroad grin spread over his face and then he laughed uproariously.

"Meyer, what are you laughing at?" exclaimed the other. "I just knocked you down."

"The joke is on you," chortled Tanchum. "I'm not Meyer!"
