Sadie walked into a print lab to have a photo of her deceased husband Moshe copied and retouched.
She said to the technician, "I have always hated the hat that my husband Moshe is wearing in the photo. Could you please retouch the hat out?"
"Of course," said the technician, "What colour hair did your husband have?"
"When you take the hat off, you'll see," she said.
