Food Joke

What’s ethics? [My thanks to Jean Reed for the following joke] Issy was the proud co-owner of the local dry cleaners. One day, during dinner, whilst he was finishing his chicken soup, his 9year old son Sam asked, "Dad, what’s ethics?" Issy thought for a while, put down his spoon, looked at Sam and replied, "Okay, let`s suppose someone comes into my shop and gives me his business suit to dry clean. Then suppose I find a £20 note in his trouser pocket?" Sam looked expectantly at his father. "So," Issy said, "to answer your question, Sam, do I tell my partner I found the money? That`s ethics".
