POINTED.
Finklestein was a good customer of Abe and Mawruss, manufacturers of women's dresses. He was, however, getting lax about his payments, and Abe suggested that Mawruss send him a strong but diplomatic letter calling attention to this laxity. Mawruss worked for several hours over the letter, then showed it to Abe for his approval. After reading it, Abe said, "Dot's a wonderful letter —strong and to der point, but not personal or insulting. But you've got a couple of mistakes in it, Mawruss. 'Dirty' you should spell vith only vun 'r.' and 'cockroach' begins mit a *c.' "
