Business as Usual

Mr. Cohen gives $1 every week to a particular beggar in his town. One week he sees the beggar and gives him only 25 cents. The beggar is indignant and complains, "Why did you give me only 25 cents?" Mr. Cohen replies: "My business was bad last week." The beggar responds: "Because your business is having a hard time, therefore you're ruining my business?"
