An
American Jew in London
An American Jew was shopping on Piccadilly, in London. He entered
the posh gourmet food store, Fortnum & Mason.
A salesman in a Morning Coat - with tie and tails - approached and asked, “May
I be of service to you, sir?”“Yes,” replied the customer, “I'd like a pound of Lox.”
“Sorry, sir,” answered the
cultured salesman, “Do you mean Smoked Salmon'”?
“Okay, a pound of Smoked Salmon.”
“Anything else?”
“Yes, a dozen Blintzes.”
“I believe you mean Crepes.”
“Okay, a dozen Crepes.”
“Anything else?”
“Yes. A pound of Chopped Liver.”
“You are probably referring to Pate'.”
“Okay,” said the customer, “a pound of Pate', and could you deliver
this Saturday? “
“Sorry, sir,” said the salesman, “We don't schlep Chazzerai on Shabbos!”
