Manchester Jews
Two old Jewish men, Jacob and Samuel, are sitting in a Manchester restaurant one day.
Jacob asks Samuel, "Do you know if any people of our ancestry were ever born and raised in Manchester ?"
Samuel replies, "I don't know, let's ask our waiter."
When the waiter arrives, Samuel asks, "Are there any Manchester Jews?"
The waiter says, "I don't know senor, I ask the cooks.
" He returns from the kitchen after a few minutes and says,
"No senor, the cook say no Manchester Jews."
Samuel isn't satisfied and asks, "Are you absolutely sure?"
The waiter, replies,
"I check once again, senor," and goes back into the kitchen.
While the waiter is away, Jacob says,
"I find it hard to believe that there are no Jews in Manchester .
Our people are scattered everywhere."
The waiter returns and says, "Senor, the head cook Manuel, he say there is no Manchester Jews."
"Are you certain?" Samuel asks again. "I just can't believe there are no Manchester Jews!"
"Senor, I ask EVERYONE," replies the exasperated waiter.
"All we have is Orange Jews, Grape Jews, Prune Jews, Tomato Jews and Apple Jews, but no Manchester Jews."
