A Numbers Game

A very wealthy chossid once gave the Holy Tolna Rebbe R' Dovid'l 14 gold rendels [a very large sum of money] at Purim time. The chossid explained that he gave 14 because it is the gemtria of the name of the Rebbe דוד. In addition, the chossid had problems with his hand and יד is gematria 14.

Rav Dovid'l known for his sharp wit, replied "Too bad that my name isn't פרשנדתא and that you don't have a problem with your כרכשתא [an internal organ]. Then I'd be really rich....."
