Six Jewish gentlemen were playing poker at the Condo Clubhouse when Meyerwitz loses $500 on a single hand, clutches his chest and drops dead at the table. Showing respect for their fallen comrade, the other five complete the evening of playing standing up. Finkelstein looks around and asks, "Who's going to tell the wife?" They draw straws. Goldberg, who is always a loser, draws the short one. They tell him to be discreet, be gentle, don't make a bad situation any worse. "Gentlemen. 'Discreet!' I'm the most discreet man you will ever meet! Discreet is my middle name... Leave it to me." Goldberg walks over to the Meyerwitz apartment, knocks on the door. The wife answers, asks what he wants. Goldberg declares, "Your husband just lost $500 and is afraid to come home!" She hollers, "Tell him he should drop dead!" Goldberg says, "From your lips to God's ears!" |
