A girl brings her fiance home for dinner to meet her parents. After dinner, the mother asks the father to find out about the guy.
The father asks the young man to go into the study with him, and have a drink. "So, what are your plans?" he asks the young man.
"I'm a religous scholar."
"A religious scholar. Hmmm," says Dad. "Admirable. But how will you provide my daughter a nice house to live in, such as she is accustomed to?"
"I will study," the young man replies, "and God will provide for us."
"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asks the father.
"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man answers, "and God will provide for us."
"And children? How will you support your children?"
"Don't worry, sir. God will provide," replies the fiance.
The conversation goes on like that, and each time the father questions the young idealist, the fiances insists that God will provide.
Later, the mother asks her husband, "How'd it go, Honey?"
The father says, "He has no job and no plans. But the good news is, he thinks I'm God."
