Honesty is the best policy
Shlomo is an honest person always looking for ways to save himself some money. After spending a week with his son and family in London, he returns to Israel with 7 dishwashers. As soon as he arrives at the customs desk, he's met by the Customs Officer who tells him, "Mr Levy, you can only import items duty free as long as they're for your own personal use. But as you have brought back 7 dishwashers, you must pay duty on 6 of them."
"But they're all for my personal use," says Shlomo. "I’m orthodox. So one of them is for milchedik, one for flayshedik, and one for parveh."
"OK Mr Levy," says the Customs Officer, "I can accept that. But what about the other 4 dishwashers?"
Shlomo replies, "I need three of them for Pesach - one for milchedik, one for flayshedik and one for parveh."
"OK, OK Mr Levy," says the Customs Officer, "that now makes 6. But what about the 7th dishwasher? What is that for?"
"Look, let me be honest," replies Shlomo. "Every once in a while I eat a little trayf."
