(www.jewishjokes.net)

An American Jew was shopping on Regent Street in London. He entered a posh gourmet food store. A sales representative, in a long morning coat with tie and tails, approached.

"May I be of help to you, sir?"

"Yes. I'd like a pound of lox."

"Sorry, sir - do you mean smoked salmon?"

"Okay, a pound of smoked salmon."

"Anything else, sir?"

"Yes, a dozen blintzes."

"I believe you mean crepes, sir."

"Okay, a dozen crepes."

"Anything else, sir?"

"Yes. A pound of chopped liver."

"You are probably referring to pate, sir."

"Okay, a pound of pate - and could you deliver all this on Saturday?"

"Sorry, sir - we don't schlep that chazzerai on Shabbos."
