So these two bees meet in the street. One bee says, "It's been so long! How have you been?"

The second bee replies, "Oh, not so good -- it's been a bad winter, no flowers anywhere."

"Oh -- I'm glad we met," the first bee says, "because I can help you. If you go two blocks down then take a left, there's a big Jewish wedding going on right now. Flowers and fruit and everything. Go -- now. You won't regret it."

The second bee thanks him and they part.

Later that afternoon, they meet again, and the first bee asks, "So did you go? How was it?"

"Oh! I am stuffed. I couldn't eat another bite in a week. Thank you so much."

"Oh good -- I'm glad I could help," the first bee says. "But, um, what's that on your head?"

"This? It's a yarmukah."

"And, uh, why are you wearing a yarmukah?"

"Well, I didn't want them to think I was a W.A.S.P."


Thank you, I'll be here all week. Try the veal.
