All Right Already

A man is standing on the platform of the Darien, Conn., train station, reading the paper. An elderly woman joins him. She glances at him appraisingly, and then approaches to ask a question. "Excuse me, Mister, I am sorry to intrude, but I have to ask -- Are you Jewish?"

The man is startled, but good-naturedly answers, "No, Ma'am, I'm not."

"Oh," says the woman in a crestfallen tone. A pause. "Are you quite sure you're not Jewish?"

"Yes, quite sure."

Another pause. "Maybe half-Jewish?"

"Madam," says the man with growing irritation, "I assure you: I have the greatest admiration and respect for the Jewish people. If I were Jewish, I would certainly acknowledge it. It just so happens that I'm Presbyterian."
