Small Town

In a small town in the Old Country, the Rabbi died. 
> His widow, the Rebbetzin, was so disconsolate that the people of the
town
> decided that she ought to get married again. 
> But the town was so small that the only eligible bachelor was the town
> butcher. 
> The poor Rebbetzin was somewhat dismayed because she had been wed to a
> scholar, and the butcher had no great formal education. 
> However, she was lonely, so she agreed, and they were married. After
the
> marriage, Friday came. 
> She went to the mikvah (a Jewish ritual bath to get rid of
impurities). 
> Then, she went home to prepare to light the candles. The butcher
leaned over
> to her and said, "My mother, Hana, told me that after the mikvah and
before
> lighting the candles, it's good to have sex." 
> So they did. 
> She lit the candles. He leaned over again and said, "My father,
Shmuel, told
> me that after lighting the candles it's good to have sex." So they
did. 
> They went to bed after saying their prayers. When they awoke, he said
to
> her, "My
> grandmother, Rivka, said that before you go to the synagogue it's good
to
> have sex." So they did. 
> After praying all morning, they came home to rest. Again he whispers
in her
> ear, "My grandfather, Moishe, says after praying it's good to have
sex." So
> they did. 
> On Sunday she went out to shop for food and met a friend who asked,
"So how
> is the new husband?" 
> She replied, "Well, a scholar he isn't, but he comes from a wonderful
> family...
