The Butler
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."
