Okay everyone, stop me if you've heard this before...
An elderly Jewish couple in London won
twenty million pounds on the
lottery.
They immediately set out to begin a life
of luxury. They bought a
magnificent mansion in Knightsbridge and
surrounded themselves with
all the material wealth imaginable.
They decided to hire a butler. They
found the perfect butler through
an agency, very proper and very British,
and brought him back to
their home.
The day after his arrival, he was
instructed to set up the dining
table for four, as they were inviting
the Cohens to lunch. The couple
then left the house to do some shopping.
When they returned, they found the table
set for eight. Perplexed,
they asked the butler why it was set for
eight when they had expressly
asked him to set it for four.
The butler replied, "The Cohens
telephoned and said they were bringing
the Blintzes and the Knishes."
