There are two Jewish men sitting in a wonderful deli frequented
almost exclusively by Jews in the Jewish section of town. They are
talking among themselves in Yiddish.
A Chinese waiter comes up and in fluent and impeccable Yiddish, asks
them if everything is okay, can he get them anything, and so forth.
The Jewish men are dumbfounded. "My God, where did he learn such
perfect Yiddish?" they both think. After they pay the bill they ask
the manager of the store, also fluent in Yiddish.
"Where did your waiter learn such fabulous Yiddish?"
The owner looks around and leans in so no one will hear and says, "Shhhh.
He thinks we're teaching him English."
