Oh, the difference a single name makes. I first heard this “joke” about 35 years ago at a bar-mitzvah. BOTH men involved were Jewish and had obvioulsy Jewish names. If you tell it about two Italians, two Germans, or two anythings, it would be funny. The sad thing is the teller of this version was too out of touch to know the year is 2010.
No,the sad thing is that in 2010 the world has lost a sorely needed sense of humor.
