[Avodah] One Hundred Percent

[Zev Sero via Avodah]

I heard this from the late R Hershel Fogelman, of Worcester MA:

The passuk says "ha'elef lecha Shelomo, umasayim lenotrim es piryo". 
What does this mean?  The Gemara (Chulin 87a) says that the opportunity 
to say a bracha is worth ten golden coins.  So we owe You, Melech 
Shehashalom Shelo, 1000 coins.  But on Shabbos we are short 200.  Who 
makes up these 200?  Those who keep it with fruit.
