Old Mr. Wienstien owns a factory that makes nails. He eventually retires and leaves his son to run the business. Just before Easter, he's reading a magazine and sees an ad with Christ on the cross and the message: "Use Wienstien nails for all your tough jobs."

He's appalled. He calls up his son and complains that the ad is terrible. The son apologises and promises to fix it.

A few days later, the old man opens another magazine. Now he sees a picture of a bare cross, with a bloody body wearing a crown of thorns lying at the foot. The caption: "Should have used Wienstien nails!"
